When facing Fae Rose in the events they killed me with their first attack, which should have been impossible due to my stats and having barrier. After doing some maths, I realized what was the issue: the ability of Fae Rose, Draining Vines, triggered and therefore removed my barrier.
Draining Vines is a “drain” effect so I was not expecting it to trigger barrier, specially because with such a low amount of “damage” done, triggering barrier feels wasteful and getting rid of it before their attack feels too strong.
As ‘drain’ is damage (anything that reduces your life/armor/resistance) it will trigger it Barrier - intended to trigger on the next instance of received damage
I do not expect ‘barrier’ to be changed to have exclusions on what damage will and won’t trigger. But! I have passed on the feedback that maybe the idea of what ‘drain’ should be doesn’t meet the expectations of what “damage” is as well as shared that it does suck it was triggered and lost from such a small amount of damage.
