Modifiers

The Life Leech is applied to Energy Shield instead mod acts the same way as the Ghost Reaver keystone, but without the 50% less Energy Shield Recharge rate. Taking Ghost Reaver in addition to using Essentia Sanguis will impart no additional benefits but will still impart the 50% less Energy Shield Recharge Rate.

The Ghost Reaver mod on legacy versions has the same effect as the keystone, Ghost Reaver, which includes the Energy Shield recharge rate penalty. Taking the keystone in addition to equipping this item will impart no additional benefit.
