Energy Shield Stats

[Drosta]

Can someone explain the difference between the ES stats?

Energy shield recharge rate, is how fast it replenishes
Faster start of energy shield recharge is how soon after damage is starts recharging
but then theres this

energy shield recovery rate

I am confused by that. is it the same as faster start of recharge? or is it something else?

Energy shield is consumed as soon as you get hit and starts (I think after 2-3 seconds) after you have not taken any more hits.

Recovery rate tells you how quickly you can get from 0-100%, but faster start means when your shield starts to recharge after the last start. There are also skills that allow you to recharge the shield immediately after using it.

I hope that helps you?

All damage goes to shield first accept bleed and poison those bypass.
Shield base is 4 second no dmg to start recharge.
Recharge start % will reduce that 4 seconds
Recharge fill rate is how quickly it fills up once the recharge starts

I appreciate the reply but no not really.

Unless you're saying recovery rate is the same as recharge rate. Because that's what I assumed recharge rate does. (how quickly you can get from 0-100%,).

It could be they do the same thing by different wording. But I thought they had done away with that crap from Poe 1. (Having multiple terms for the same damn effect)

It's a multiplier for all energy shield recovery.
There are more ways to recover energy shield than recharge alone.
