Ghost Dance

Ghost Dance is a keystone and causes the player to generate Ghost Shroud charges. A new charge is generated every 2 seconds upto a maximum of 3. If the player is hit, they lose a Ghost Shroud and instantly recover 3% of their Evasion Rating as Energy shield.

Mechanics

The character must be hit in order for a Ghost Shroud to recover energy shield. This means that defencive mechanics that negate hits, such as evasion, dodge and blocking, will prevent Ghost Shrouds from recovering energy shield when hits are negated. This is true even if the negated hit still deals damage, as would be the case with a hit blocked by a character with Glancing Blows.
