Aegis + Transcendence?

[Madgizmo]

Anyone know how those two things stack? On face value it sounds amazing, since Aegis is based off overhealing and you would always be overhealing with Transcendence but the math looks like it would be useless since Aegis scales based on a percentage of your health, does that include shields?

I don't think recharging shield counts as healing, does it? Otherwise, you'd get the same effect by just getting a single Personal Shield Generator...
That said, a bunch of healing items don't base off your max HP but rather have absolute numbers, like the Scythe and Leeching Seed. In the very least, I'd expect the max barrier generated by Aegis to be based off your shield (including the boost you get from Transcendence), which would actually let you use healing items even without any HP. I guess... try it out?

i've done it in game recently - it does not stack. aegis goes to waste because it only works on max HP, not shield.

good to know. so if you got topaz your better off letting another person get the aegis. or grab it anyway in solo to feed one of those rare red item printers.
