My sorcerer has 60% bonus to barrier generation. Pre patch 1.1.0a that bonus worked, post patch 1.1.0a that barrier generation bonus does nothing.
This isn’t because I’m hitting the current barrier cap of 100% base health either, this is with testing using only the 30% max health barrier from the protection passive, by using ice armor I can achieve a higher barrier amount. Which proves that me not seeing an increase to my barrier generation isn’t because I’ve hit the cap.
For reference my max hp is 18155, the barrier I’m getting from using a cooldown is 5447, which is 30% of my max hp, the amount the passive protection gives without barrier generation bonuses. This is the same barrier amount with or without my barrier generation items equipped.
EDIT: Nevermind, found another thread here, that was posted 21 days ago that gave more specifics about how barrier worked, and that goes into how barrier works a bit. The post brings this up: “barrier generation stat can be misleading… this stat doesn’t work with the Protection passive at all.”
So apparently I was entirely mistaken about barrier generation actually doing anything for me at all. Apparently the real bug is that barrier generation bonuses don’t apply to the protection passive skill.
