Barriers needs some serious work

[silent killer.5732]

We need it to last at least one second more plus

Anyone know why the barrier should effected by the agony? Whats the point tho

Its sometimes critical. If the barriers should be that way. Every single healing skills should act the same as it

 

Its not only the barrier who affected by the agony its also you can't gain helth

 

I hope they look at it again

> Agony will no longer reduce barrier application.

Funny you say this. Agony no longer effects barrier as Sigmoid said. And Anet already did make barrier last 1 second longer (degen starts 2 seconds, after application, instead of 1) and made it fully degenerate after 4 seconds instead of 3.

Only a small correction.

>Barrier: The duration before decay begins has been increased from 1 second to 2 seconds. The time for the barrier to decay has been reduced from 4 seconds to 3 seconds.

Barrier went from 1 second start, 4 second decay to 2 second start , 3 second decay. The total time you have barrier is the same. 5s. Though the time spent a higher values of barrier is much better. Its good for builds who deliver many packets of barrier like support scourge or weaver.

Barriers now have a good use in Fractals where the party is under Agony and can't benefit from healing. Need an extra 2 seconds to be able to use your heal? Barrier will now grant you that reprieve if you are under attack.
