Was doing some runs earlier, doing my usual Keeper build while leveling her up and something seems off.  Usually with upgraded Barrier if I hit 2 or 3 people including myself with it, the CD will be up right around when the Barrier wears off.  It seems after the patch even with Clean Burn and Upgraded Barrier there's a handful of seconds of dead space where Barrier is still on CD and it has expired on myself and my teammates.  I heard the Barrier ring works now, so I've been using that again, so that might factor in.  My Keeper was around level 13 when I noticed this.

 

If the change is intentional that's fine, I'll just have to not be as aggressive on my Keeper anymore.  Perhaps this is a change to make people not as dependent on Barrier?  Or maybe I'm just crazy

Hmm, I'll pay more attention to the specifics of it today because things did feel a little wonky last night.  It seemed like I lost more health than usual and had a little trouble keeping barrier on the team but I figured I was just having an off night.  I love being in the thick of things on my Keeper but can hold back a little if this is a new thing.  If nothing changed maybe sign me up for Team Crazy

Ispan, are you on XBOX one?   I was in a group last night with a name which was very similar.   They were the host and I eventually lagged from the game. =(

Though the laggy host thing sounds about right it wasn't me, I'm on PC.  I'd probably make an ass of myself trying to drop barriers with a controller so it's for the best.

So I recently promoted and put on an attack ring instead of the barrier ring and my barrier cd's seem to be back to normal.  Literally the only thing I changed was that one ring.  Perhaps it's bugged?

This post tested in SP says that Winter Stillness no longer affects ability cooldowns. Maybe MP version was also changed?

I'll have to test that one out, don't have Winter Stillness yet with my recent promotion, but when I get it I'll try it out.

I did some simple testing to see what was happening.

 

I used a keeper with elegant defense, rejuvenating barrier, knight-protector, and Winter Stillness.  I test both with and without the barrier ring, and I would do tests running around so winter stillness could not take effect.

 

Results are as followed:

 

Ring + WS = 18s

The barrier would be ready to cast as soon as it ran out, the boost from elegant defense finishing it off.

 

Ring + no WS = 26s

Barrier ran out long before it was ready to be recast.

 

No Ring + WS = 14s

Barrier was ready to be recast before the previous barrier had finished.

 

No Ring + no WS = 18s

The barrier would be ready to cast as soon as it ran out, the boost from elegant defense finishing it off.

 

In light of this I think I will refrain from using the barrier ring.

 

Edit:

As an addendum a Superb Cooldown Amulet was equipped for each test.  I should also clarify that the seconds listed were cooldown times.  I would conclude that the Barrier Ring most likely increases the cooldown time by 30% in addition to its listed effects.

I've used the Keeper a lot before and after the patch. I use the Barrier ring and the unique amulet of cooldown.  Before the patch I would get faster cooldowns because I believe the ring was giving 30% cooldown. After the patch I noticed my barriers were much stronger but not as fast cooldown.  I am ok with this change.
