I can't get a full barrier, hardly ever. I hit max hits with chain lightning which is apparently 1000% damage, fade cloak into multiple enemies which is apparently another 1000% each person hit. Then I also slap on a fade step for 300% each person hit and of course the spirit blade. The absolute most I can usually get is a mere half way, but it is generally way less maybe around a quarter. The only time I can get it max is if I am fighting a pride demon or a Revenant. They probably have weaknesses or something.

Now, my staff isn't very good. Its just a level 20 common. (I have around 150 completed operations with 3 promotes but not a single purple yet) Will all my problems vanish as soon as I get a good staff? I have no idea.

Your problems will end when the nerf comes.

A level 20 common staff is pretty good.  AFAIK there is no level 23 unique staff, meaning that a level 23 rare staff takes the place as best staff.

 

As for this, Pull of the abyss might be the reason you see others generating so much barrier.  It pulls all enemies nearby into a single point, meaning 1 attack can strike a bunch of enemies.  If there are dispersed, it can be pretty hard to generate full barrier.

Your problem is probably that you took the 50% bonus to Barrier passive.

Barrier decays at 10%/second. "Normal" Barrier is 2000 points so it decays at 200 points/second. "Upgraded" Barrier is 3000 points (50% more) so it decays at 300 points/second. Even with a 150 DPS staff, you won't be able to max the "upgraded" Barrier, nor will you be able to sustain it. That means that the 50% bonus to Barrier passive is BAD for the Arcane Warrior.

Are you shitting me?

Did I looked like I was joking?

Test it yourself, it might be ok for Routine or Threatening, you'll get eaten up in Perilous. Been surviving just fine with "only" 2000 points Barrier while I was getting slaughtered with the 50% bonus to Barrier. I'm not the first to say it and I won't be the last, the 50% bonus Barrier is bad. If the decay wasn't 10%/second, it would be an entire different thing.

Bonus to barrier is indeed bad for AW. I just want to point out that the amount of barrier hp depends on your staff, it's not 2000 for everybody.
