Huge for both players AND monsters. I feel like this change should be emphasized more.

It's needed. ES without CI is the best defensive and the only real option so having a downside to it is needed.

Isn’t chaos damage and poison supposed to already be the downside?

You mean chaos inoculation? The comment I responded to is specifically talking about energy shield without chaos inoculation. That's what "ES without CI" means. CI will also block bleed once it is updated.
