Drawing from long forgotten texts, this magical shield of energy absorbs harmful attacks through energy resonance, draining [[Arcane Power]].
==Skill Skillrune Effects==The following is a very quick listsummary. See the [[Energy Armor rune effects]] page for a more thorough summary description of rune effects, or any of the individual rune pages for numbers, screenshots, blue quotes, and much more.
This skill is likely to be used by many [[Wizard]]s, especially if they are going [[melee]]-style with [[Diamond Skin]] and [[Magic Weapon]], or playing [[hardcore]].

[[Skill trees]] were removed shortly thereafter. At [[BlizzCon 2010]], Energy Shield was a Tier 5 skill, making it too high-level for players to select. Before the [[July 2011 Press Event]], [[Energy Shield]] was renamed Energy Armor. Skill tiers were also removed, and Energy Armor became a level 22 skill.
===Beta===
Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and [[Energy Shield]] (by then renamed Energy Armor) became a level 22 skill. When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Energy Armor was classified as a Conjuration skill and bumped up to level 28.
