Well I cannot really argue with most design alterations.

A dome shield and active movement, can be like having two walls of defence. Trying to chase through it can be a hasstle. But half shell exists so its not bad... but to have two domes on hand.... with no cd gap idk.... thats a lot of cover.

All I think about with fortify is that there is no harming or utility barriers in the game.

If a slow of sorts was applied to targets who walk though it, then barik would have some dive protection vs foes who just dash through the barrier.
By that design you could just walk upto people with a slow by deploying your shield on them and that seems like a pretty jank use for it, thus why I do not oft talk about the idea.

Another idea for shield utility, fortify amps ally damage passing through it. Therefore you can have your shield wall to amp whatever is stacked behind, allies or turrets.

I had a thought that tink could pierce through up to 1 additional target at the expense of dealing less damage after it penetrates the initial target.

Weapon attack penetration could be beneficial to apply caut, and hold a corridor vs stacking and make up for a lack of caut application from slugs.

Personally I hate weapon attack talents in their current state esp tink.

@TTraw said in Barik Card Tier List:

I have a question sir!

Why is Double time better than Bowling Ball? Bowling Ball seems much better considering that wrecker is way weaker than cauterize, and also comes out instantenously for a much clutcher save?

Theoretically, that argument is sensible, however in practice it doesn't really work that way.

The issue with Bowling Ball is that you don't even need Wrecker to deal with it. In the days it used to be good it actually made you get Wrecker for it. But now most characters that do half decent damage can just shoot at it with no Wrecker and poof the shield is down. Cauted Double Time will still provide sustain while it's healing you 20/sec at Caut 3 instead of Bowling Ball where you just lose all the sustain from the card when the shield is destroyed.

And even then it isn't like Cauterize increases the damage dealt to health like Wrecker does to shields. If Caut did that, then yeah Bowling Ball likely would be straight-up better because you'd have to burst it down. But both would suck at that point and Caut would be busted.

I have published the video.

After all I have to start somewhere even if it is with low quality content. May also do one each for Terminus, Raum, and Ash at some point. Though they'll likely be shorter in length than this.
