So I was bored and I wanted to test out how much MDEF was Barrier giving me, however, doing so, I found an interesting bug which is as follows:
This is how much MDEF my Barrier is giving me:
691 LVL 5 / 821 LVL 6
And this is my Mdef without the Barrier:
1108 MDEF
Now we use Barrier WITHOUT Divine Might:
1797 MDEF (Which is actually giving me less, I’ve 1108 and it’s giving me 691 MDEF, which should be 1799).
However, if we use Divine Might AFTER we already used Barrier and re-enter the area, the MDEF will actually increase:
1908 MDEF (Which, once again, is giving me less than it actually should, I’ve 1108 and it’s giving me 821 MDEF, which should be 1929).
Also if we cast Divine Might and then cast Barrier, it will give me more MDEF than casting Divine Might afterwards, however, it applies for both when Divine Might is active and when it worns off.
Divine Might + Barrier:
1928 MDEF (20 more MDEF than before)
Once Divine Might worns off:
1817 MDEF (20 more MDEF than before)
Also another thing I noticed is that once you’re inside the barrier and you look at your tooltip, it will say it will give you more MDEF, however, recasting Barrier while being at the edge of the old barrier wont give the new Barrier that amount of MDEF to your character:
And the most impactful discover I did with these testings is that it doesn’t matter if you cast Barrier with or without Divine Might, as soon as your Divine Might runs out, the already casted Barrier will automatically downgrade and start giving the MDEF of a lvl 5 Barrier instead of lvl 6 as it was initially (or unintentionally when you do it after already casting Barrier and using Divine Might afterwards).
