Life Recharge and life costs to skills. Bugged or intended?

I need clarification if skills that cost life is considered life lost and should interrupt life recharge.

Even with Widow's Reign, where life lost when damage taken is reserved instead, i noticed my life recharge is stopped while casting. Even with no life being reserved. Could you take a look at this and let me know ASAP!

I wasn't sure if this was a bug or if it is intended.

I know in POE 1 life cost and sacrifice did not interrupt life recharge.

Thanks in advance!

Bump.

In PoE2 recharge is interrupted by any loss (of the recharging resource), not only by damage.

Darn. Thanks for clarifying.

So I saw that the poe2 wiki says that Recharge:

"If energy shield is not at full and life or energy shield have not been lost for a short delay (also known as "start of Energy Shield Recharge"), it will begin to recharge 12.5% of maximum energy shield per second. Energy shield recharge is considered a form of recovery, but it is not regeneration. Any damage taken to Life or ES will interrupt recharge, restarting the delay timer."

Wouldn't this mean that losing life to casting skills (not considered damage) shouldn't interrupt the recharge?

Also, further on in that same wiki it says that the Start of Energy shield Recharge:

"Energy shield will start recharging if the character does not take any damage for a certain period of time. By default, this time is 4 seconds. It can be reduced with #% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge modifiers from passive skills and equipment."

Which really had me confused. It no longer says loss but if no damage taken for a certain period of time. (Cause of confusion)

The PoE2 wiki isn't quite as well maintained in comparison to the PoE1 wiki at this time.

At the top of the page, you can click the W button next to the Discussion tab to be sent to the PoE1 wiki's version of the page. You can see that a lot of the page was copied over without being adjusted to match PoE2--including having some sections of the page that should display pictures, except the images weren't also copied over to the PoE2 wiki.



For evidence that the spending Life interrupting Life Recharge is intended, we can look at the last modifier of the Lich ascendancy's Eldritch Empowerment, which adds an ES skill cost to spells:

"

Spending Energy Shield does not interrupt Recharge

That's rough.

I get it now!

Thanks.
