So how will Barrier work now?

Just curious as to how this will work, lets say in a group of 12.

Will it overwrite an existing barrier on the six closest to the caster or will it be smart enough to apply to the other six?

    It won't xD lol.

    Seriously I'd like to know too. How stupid to nerf it to 6. Smart would be to nerf to 12, standard raid group.

    In a full 24-man group that would only be 2 playes a time casting barrier to shield the entire group, now you'll need 4 people casting Barrier. Definitely a smart move, this will greatly reduce the effectiveness of very large (30+) semi-organized groups.

    More barriers the merrier is normally the way anyway it's just going to come down to coordination as usual. It's not a game breaker but I'm just wanting to know how its going to be implemented.

    ..and to be honest I want everything given to me rather than find out for myself.
    I'm a scrub like that.

    its about time barrier got nerfed.... lets face it...

    Maybe to 6 was a bit drastic... if i was zenni i would nerf everything to the size of the groups we would like to see....

    Make barrier and purge a multiple of 4...... then.. 4,8,12,16,20,24......get the picture zenni.....

    Should of stuck with 12, another pvp nerf hitting pve good job!

    And let's be honest the chance of the barriers being "smart" and not overriding each other is pretty damn small
