Saving barrier is overpowered

see one of those kett guys that uses the mist to go invisible start wailing on him in melee mode (cos hit box is garbage) while the 3 anointed you didn't see him cloak set you up in a cross fire and tell me its op'd ......

saving barrier might keep you alive when you should otherwise have died but unless you already capped out hp regen perk itrs not actually going to keep you alive for more than a second in a firefight /

I just hope t he devs don't see your ridiculous op and decide to act on it like they did during the early days of me3 when the nerfers cried about everything that was semi useable until it was all gimped beyond use.


and yes I used ot farm fbw from the room of shame because unlike some rich brats with dadies credit card I wanted to get the gear but didn't have the cash to just pay 2 win without spaming shockwave from behind the desk for 10 minutes to get a jumbo box and a spectre pack ......its easy to play stuff and look good doing it when you have the ability to through money at it but a lot more difficult if you have to farm your way through it / when bw "fixed" a none existent problem to please a vocal minority they largely killed the player base

Gotta agree with this, it's nice that they are worth specing into now. The angaran passive tree is really good too. 

Rank 5 barrier drain + saving barrier is a bit silly though in my opinion, combined they are overpowered, maybe saving barrier should only be 50%, 100% free shields every 10 seconds is a lot especially if you compare it to rank 6 in the salarian tree for example, that perk really sucks in comparison to saving barrier.

This has got to be the most broken and overpowered perk in multiplayer right now. I'm not sure whether other people have noticed just how utterly broken this thing is or if it has gone unnoticed, but regardless, I am absolutely loving it. On the vanguard, it saves me from guaranteed death at least a few times on every single gold game. It scares me just how reliable, effective and predictable this is. It's a total game-changer and has definitely changed the way I play the vanguard. I can be much more aggressive and still hardly go down. It's not as effective as a stim pack from mass effect 3 of course, but in my experience it is superior to ops packs because it's automatic and regular and activates itself in the most desperate moments of need, making it indispensable for aggressive players like me.


This little beauty has enabled me to complete hacking devices I otherwise would not have been able to complete. It allows you to eat bullets like a boss! I hope they don't touch it but if they do, I'd completely understand.


Of course this will never make up for the pathetic power combos and terrible weapons, but still...I'll take whatever victory comes my way, no matter how small or in what form. This thing is pretty amazing! If you haven't played human vanguard yet - go and play it, make sure to spec into saving barrier and witness its beauty for yourself.

An infiltrator with widow 1, gps or claymore 1 could carry golds back in the early me3 days. Lol @ people that had to cheese fb white.
