I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.
I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char?

Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB.
second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work
theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice.
As of now, there are *18* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes ~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots.
Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn.
Grip of Kulemak 59% ES *should* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is.
Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me.
Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is ~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I *think* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more.
further thoughts
- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a
- doubting this but:
is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible)
Did I miss anything?
