Necro - affliction - bug vs barrier

Possible bug: Affliction vs barrier

I’ve been trying to push Affliction to see how far we can go (wicked strong in leveling through T2, and I’ve got it working well in T3, but I it seems like it’s gonna tail off mid t4) and have noticed something: when facing a mob with barrier, my damage is severely handicapped. I’m pretty sure that Affliction is not triggering on barriers for some reason. Curses can’t go through barriers? Dunno. I have to watch mob health slowly and steadily tick down with soul rift and then, once the barrier is gone, the mob’s health disappears in a few big chunks as affliction actually hits.

Anyone else using Affliction seeing the same thing?

Not limited to console of course. Hopefully we can get that in a midseason patch, if it is indeed not working.
