I found one for the first time ever, never even came across one in SP. I was so excited to equip this to my keeper, only to discover the damn thing does not work. Like at all. I timed both with and without the ring equipped on a stopwatch, and they yielded the exact same results.

 

So... my question--is this going to get fixed? It's a pretty big let down.

 

Also, which ability rings do work? I know Disruption Field and Static Cage work, as I've got those on my Keeper currently and they work like a charm. But I'm wondering if I'm wasting a slot on my Elementalist with the Firestorm ring.

If it shows a difference in your tooltips for the skill, I believe it works. There is no tooltip # of seconds for barrier duration.

Well I timed it to the second, so I know it doesn't work. Which is sad, because it would have been a useful ring.

 

Edit: Although looking at the tooltip will be useful for firestorm, thanks.

Damn so leaping shot ring doesn't work. Gotta love that static cage ring though, who knew that 30% of 8 is 6.5?

Yes, this game certainly needs moar screen shakes. I do use it myself sometimes, so I'm a bit hypocritical here but nevertheless.

Many things in this game needs fixing. A Rare ring that doesn't work isn't particularly on the top of my 'most pressing issues list', though I empathize with you and many others that are discontent about this ring.

I know there are more pressing issues. That said, of all the rings to be nerfed, barrier ring is pretty unfortunate. Longer barrier = better for everyone.

The screen doesn't shake that much, unless you use a bunch of firestorms in rapid succession.

For the record there's no tooltip description of damage for Firestorm. So unless I go in and actually try to measure the damage differences, I can't tell if the ring is working or not.

It's in the description for me. 100% weapon damage, doesn't change with the ring.

It could be worse: I got 2 times an enhanced Cloak of Shadows ring... yeah, this ability doesn't exist in MP...  <_<

"Why is the Enhanced Barrier Ring broken?"

Think again! It's not the only ring that's broken. But maybe they are not broken but just coded to do nothing special, thus being only fillers for your screen and your imagination.

Sorry that's what I mean--no actual damage value. 100% of WD, but it doesn't change with added rings.

I have a Winter's Grasp ring that doesn't work as well.

 

I do have a Walking Bomb ring and Shadow Strike ring that work though.

I got this ring, too, and it really made me "WTF" for the 15 minutes I searched every rouge tree for the skill....

 

I really hope the next DLC they do adds in gear specific to MP and get rid of all the items that give Focus gain, are utterly useless to MP, or at  least re tool them to be used in MP. It's like they took random SP content and threw it in MP for the hell of it with out actually looking at the stats.

On SP, I remember (I think) the ring changing the value of my barrier. As in, increasing the barrier strength. Haven't checked if that happens on MP though.

The Twisted Veil one works backwards, reducing duration, so it could be worse. The description says it goes from 10 to 13 seconds, but in practice it goes to 7.

I've kept barrier and thousand cuts ring--incase these get fixed and added respectively. Focus I just salvage because that will likely not be added to MP although I think a 5th slot Focus ability for every class would be badass.

Isn't it supposed to increase duration lol
