Notes
This robe is somewhat similar to the Shendyt of Geb, sacrificing some DEF and any WIS bonus for a decent increase to HP and a sharp increase in VIT with the +20 VIT passive and the +125 VIT proc. This puts most robe classes at 185 VIT or above with the proc active, except for the Sorcerer, which increases to a whopping 220 VIT, reducing the In Combat duration to its minimum of 1 second. The HP regen when In Combat is about half as effective as a max divine pet, and is doubled when Out of Combat, making this robe appealing to petless players.

Note that the in combat duration from the initial hit that activates the proc will not be reduced, only subsequent hits once the proc is already active, so it is less useful than it may initially seem. In addition, the proc has a 15 second downtime, which further hinders its performance. Nevertheless, this robe provides good survivability in situations where DEF matters less and it is harder to avoid getting hit.

Because this robe reduces the IC duration to 1 second, it is useful when paired with Warmonger or Dusky Catalyst, as both these weapons will have their debuff durations effectively cut down to about a second, allowing more freedom when dodging.

History
Before Exalt Version 2.3.0.0 (Mar 2022), this item’s reactive proc gave Blue Cross Energized for 5 seconds when In Combat with a 5 second cooldown.
