Noticed it the last few days in event runs where I am being one hit and die and my barrier is still displaying as present (see screenshot below) Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks for your time team!
EDIT: To clarify, the enemy is killing me via melee on their first turn. So no complicated mechanics, just a big melee hit that doesn’t seem to be consuming my barrier buff.
Barrier is granted at the start by my Khazdhuli helm and nothing else I wear grants barrier.
Also not sure if related but also noticed something odd.
I started my turn (pictured below) with reflect (3 turns) and after casting a damage spell I watched that change to as pictured below with just one turn.
Barrier only blocks 50% of an instance of incoming damage. It is possible that the raw incoming damage amount was enough to defeat you even with the 50% damage reduction.
Do you have a piece of gear equipped that can generate Reflect? If so, that gear generates a 1 instance version of Reflect that does not have an expiration timer on it (which probably overwrote the timed version of Reflect).
Doom trumps everything, the only way to stop Doom is to cleanse it. Not sure if that’s the reason you died though or not in this situation. But if it was, your barrier isn’t going to help you at all.
Doesn’t matter how many reflects you have. Whether one or three, it only activates once and you lose all additional copies of it after it does activate, barrier works the same way.
Yeah I had considered that, but if that were the case, wouldn’t the barrier buff still disappear when I take the damage that kills me?
Nah, no doom. Its the first turn off the enemy one shotting my squishy ass which normally I can mitigate with the barrier.
Do you have a Barrier generating item equipped, such as a Savior Shield?
Doom is true damage, I believe it completely ignores the barrier and reflect as well. You either cleanse it within four turns or you take alot of damage, potentially fatal. Combined with burn, its really nasty.
Yeah the Khaz helm gives me barrier
I noticed this several times, and assumed it was intended behavior. At first i thought a lethal hit would bypass barrier, but then ive noted taking damage that was more than 50% of my armor+life or res+life.
After checking enough times. This is simply you taking enough damage that you die to the hit, and the game not removing the barrier. This is typically a crit that isnt blocked.
Yeah I think you are correct. The barrier is being used but is still displaying even after taking the hit.
Thanks for your help!
Any time!
