    weak Eukrasian Eukrasian Prognosis shield overwrites stronger Galvanize shields

    Date of issue: 29.12.2021
    Time of issue: 23:00
    Frequency: 24/7 (every day, at any time, at any world, at any location)
    World name: Shiva
    Character name@Home World name: Genbatzu Giz@Shiva
    Retainer name: N/A
    NPC name: N/A
    Monster name: N/A
    Class/Level: Scholar/90
    Party or solo: Party
    In-game time: 01:00
    Area and coordinates: Pandaemonium Third Circle (Phoinix), Mist Ward 14
    Housing: N/A
    Steps:
    1. Scholar uses "Recitation" + "Adloquium" + "Deployment Tactics", granting the whole Group a boosted effect of "Galvanize"
    2. Sage uses Eukrasian Prognosis
    3. Sage's magicked barrier overwrites boosted Galvanize effect of the Scholar on every party member, resulting in a much smaller barrier:


    The problem is that only stronger Scholar Shields can overwrite Sage Shields, while Sage can overwrite Scholar Shields with (much) weaker ones, which results in wasted cooldowns, indirect damage (or if timed poorly direct damage) to the whole party.

    This behaviour also applies to Eukrasian Diagnosis.

    old topic which was moved to the "Insufficient Information" section with further comments:

    https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...olars-Barriers

    please dont just move it there again, I filled out the form as requested and it's easily reproducable by simply doing a sage+scholar party and doing the 3 steps described above.
