bambi.6214 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Sometimes it procs, sometimes doesn't. Sometimes you are stuck with 1 barrier forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperadordf.2687 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 It applies BEFORE the hit, so if the hit is more than your barrier, you won’t see it on your HP bar.Look for the yellow damage numbers over you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the barrier uptime, that trait is hard to be considered at least decent.But avoiding a burst with Recovery Matrix + Adaptive Armour feels good.

The barrier additions are very small, and often unobservable under most conditions. Even with mender's amulets, the amount of barrier is still very small.

Not sure though.By the way does Healing Power affect Scrapper’s barriers? I didn’t see any healing coefficients on wiki. Could be because of I used Paladin’s Amulet.

That's a huge oversight on their part -- if the barrier isn't even affected by healing power, they really missed the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a huge oversight on their part -- if the barrier isn't even affected by healing power, they really missed the mark.Healing power affects the barriers a minuscule amount. 250 healing power adds 29 to Recovery Matrix's barrier and 12 to Adaptive Armor's barrier. Recovery Matrix and Crystal Configuration: Eclipse seem to have the same healing coefficient for barrier as the same 250 healing power will add 29 to Eclipse's barrier.

That's pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phineas Poe.3018 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I don't think healing power is the way to go regardless. Holosmith just does so much power damage that I think Marauder or Paladin are better options.I've been trying out both Mender and Avatar, and they're just not that great. You're better off just blowing people up with Marauder+Enhancement sigil or going Paladin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
