 I don't have any saves with Kaiden.  I always save Ashley.  The wiki doesn't have the ME3 Barrier info yet and when I searched the forums I didn't find any explanation of the power and it's evolutions.  I'm assuming it like Tech Armor, Fortification, and Defense Matrix.  So my questions are:

What is the Damage Reductions?
What is the Purge benefit?
What is the passive benefit?
What is the recharge penalty?
What are the Rank 4,5,6 choices?

I currently love shield powers for my Vanguard.  Defense Matrix has a better purge, but Fortification has a better passive. I want to know what Barrier does and if it has better benefits for Vanguards.  I'm really don't want to re-roll a level one ME3 character just to see what barrier does.

like tech armor it has defencive power when you hit the button again it releases a wave of energy like tech armor but makes enemies float like pull does they take damage too. you increase the radius of it.

Thanks for the the reply.  But I ended up just bitting the bullet and did a "quick" (7 hours) Kaiden Playthrough and got Raeve and Barrier.

It has the same 25-50% damage reduction as DM and Fort.  The Passive rank 5 bonus is 25% power damage whcih is the same as Fort and better than the 20% Tech bonus on DM.  The purge is low damage Nova explosion that uses the Asari Heavy Melee animation with an lift grenade type effect.

I thought I would work great with Nova detonations but in practice it doesn't.  If you charge you can't purge because of the charge cooldown.  If run into a group instead of charging, the Barrier Purge blast pushes the enemies out of Nova range or Nova pushes enemies out of Purge range.  It's better than DM for non-purge, passive only strats, but DM (shield recharge) and Fort (melee damage boost) are better for purge strats.

I wanna try it on Shep...it is almost worthless on my battlemaster in MP though..

it's pretty good when paired up with tech armor, as you can get 50% damage reduction for almost no recharge penalty by using the cerberus armor and 200% cooldown

I use it on my Vanguard for the increased power damage. The damage reduction is meh when it's so hard to die on Insanity. I don't bother with its detonation effect, though.

With the right loadout, you can still have stupidly fast cooldowns with Barrier up.
