I had ignored this passive for the same reason as most but you can only promote so many times before you start wanting to try new things.
My question is about the "Barrier Bonus: 50%" benefit. It reads exactly as the Strength of Spirits passive. Does this mean that with both passives your barrier strength is doubled or does it indicate 100% + 50% = 150% + 50% = 225%? Or, does it mean simply that your spells receive that 50% bonus to their damage?
Also curious if your spell damage increases by a percentage or if the math uses the number of hit points remaining on your barrier. I'm thinking the latter because of the huge range of possible outcomes.

I don't take simply because I don't have a spell on my active set that currently works with it. 

 

Barrier, Wall of Fire, Stonefist, Firestorm. 

 

But yeah it's a fantastic passive in single player. 

 

It's stupid good on the Knight Enchanter, but if I go into the fire tree in any specialization, generally speaking I'll usually get chaotic focus.

 

In multiplayer? I don't know. Enemies don't have a ridiculous amount of health, so it might be overkill on most things. 

 

I actually don't play the ele that much though, if at all. For obvious, key glitchy reasons.

strength of spirit give directly 50% of barrier to you

this is listed on the current barrier

but chaotic focus does not give bonus to barrier. the number does not change at all

test it on single play

 

i don't know why the description tell people 50% barrier bonus.

it only give damage bonus on fire spell

may be i am wrong feel free to correct me

 

about the damage bonus it use your remaining barrier.

so 100% barrier, your barrier become50%  when you cast fire spell

and your firespell become 2x damage

damage decay linearly with your barrier

Been a while since I took a math class but how does a 50% increase equal double damage?

it consumes 50 % barrier , not 50% damage bonus

damage bonus up to 100% (multiplicative) , 200% for fire mine if 50% of barrier consumed

i also test it on single play and multiplay both double the damage

if 100% barrier
