>just spend 30 skill points fixing something that lifeniggers don't even think about
its like literally 2 points, the nodes are extremely generous and Energy Shield is so much higher than life you need barely any to already be better off than any possible life build
And when I say it's literally two points I mean it. an Energy Shield build is ALREADY pathing to Enhanced Barrier at the top of the tree, and directly adjacent to enhanced barrier with zero pathing required is pic related, which is extra hilarious in a game where half the left side notables have an annoying downside, this """"tax"""" node to get ailment+stun threshold from stun has an UPSIDE that's extremely good. Like this is literally the ONLY notable on the three that just straight up gives you Max Life after GGG decided no-life-on-the-tree was a good idea, and it's a fucking Energy Shield node right next to Enhanced Barrier.

If you take the Eldritch Will nodes (which you have zero reason not to, every character in the game would spend 1 passive point for 3% life, mana, and energy shield if they could afford it), you get 31% of energy shield to stun threshold. With 8k ES that's equivalent to having 2500 life. Abyss item crafting is so busted that halfway through the first week there's already characters with 15k ES which you needed Grim Feest overleech to reach in 0.1 lol
