Path of Exile 2 will eventually have two Energy shield/Armour archetypes: Druid and Templar. Without some new mechanics for energy shield, armour, and life these classes might be dead on arrival with the current balance of the end game. there are some uniques and rares we can test to see how it could work. i also showcase my infernalist monk who is tankier in every conceivable way using evasion and energy shield and altered flesh.

0:00 Three different gear setups to test

3:05 Prayers for Rain testing

5:05 Well rolled Rare Body Armour

6:32 I guess RNGesus wants me to test GloamGown

10:47 Takeaways from these mechanics for Melee

13:33 cannot handle juiced maps

15:57 look how good Evasion/Energy shield does compared to Armour/ES

17:57 hectic battle with Prayers for Rain

19:06 GloamGown combat again
