There is also an issue with skills requiring barrier breaking in anything above 4-man content because they can't allow double barrier for balance purposes. SGE+SGE you are fighting with each other for Addersting or SGE+SCH you override SCH shields. In both cases someone is getting pooched. That's honestly my gripe with barriers, they are mechanically flawed.
