Is it normal for a biotic barrier to disappear when you use another power?

I ask because in my most recent playthrough I had an adept character with Barrier to increase her longevity. Anyway as I recall barrier is supposed to last 60 seconds (probably 48secs after cooldown), but everytime I would use a power like warp or pull the barrier would just disappear. I ended up changing it to Geth Shield Boost instead since it seemed to actually last the full length of time. Has anyone else encountered that issue?

I think its just a video rendering issue (if I'm terming it correctly). I'm pretty sure they stay up regardless of whatever other powers you cast, or at least when I played Adept and was using it, I never felt like they disappeared if I cast any powers, and I'm pretty sure I got hit enough times that I should have noticed the difference of them being down.



Like the shotguns only visually showing 4 pellets, it actually does 8, it might be similar in that to render all the videos and such, when you actually activate another biotic power it might simply remove the animation but keep the effect.



If that makes sense.

Like Ares says, it may just be a visual issue. Next time, put up Barrier while behind cover. Pull up the Squad screen and check the numbers on your shields/barrier. Then, cast Warp to make the visual effect disappear. If your shields didn't break, let them regen and then check your numbers again. If the numbers are the same, then only the visual effect has disappeared.

Barrier will stay active only the animation disappears (after a few seconds or when using another power), to be sure check the squad screen. Barrier will stay active at least 60 s (if its not blasted away) and up to 84 s with biotic upgrade and Adept's passive. Barrier is a great bonus power for the Adept.

Yeah, it works. You can check it - see the squad screen.

Charge will do this too if you try to charge a target that Shepard can't reach - his Barrier will seem to vanish. It's still there though.

Ah ok so its most likely just a rendering issue. Thanks for the input guys.
