Barrier is a defensive shield strengthened by Barrier Generation in Diablo 4 (D4). Read on to learn more about what skills apply barrier and what Barrier Generation does!
List of Contents
Barriers will absorb damage from all sources up to an amount specified by a skill or triggered ability or until the barrier's duration ends.
Barrier values are added together when multiple barrier skills are used, however, their durations are independent and depend on the skill or passive used.
Barrier Generation increases the amount of damage a single barrier can absorb, but only from active skills that generate a barrier like Ice Armor.
Passive skills, such as the Sorcerer's Protection, are not affected by increases to Barrier Generation and will only provide the specified amount.
Most active or passive barrier skills scale based on either the Base Life value, determined by level, or Maximum Life value, Base Life plus bonuses. The higher these values are, the stronger the barrier.
Boosts to Barrier Generation can be found as affixes on gear, or by socketing Diamonds into Armor pieces.
Keep an eye out for Barrier related aspects with particularly high values in order to maximize their strength.
