Notes

  • Tediore Shields are ideal with this skill since they have higher than normal recharge rate and lower recharge delay.
  • This skill is virtually a must for most builds since it allows regeneration of health.
  • Fun Fact: with 5 points in this, boosted by class mods, it will take less than 50 seconds to regenerate all lost health
  • Shields with long recharge delays such as the Love Thumper are poor choices to use with this skill
