Without coming off as pompus and "leet," I would like to enlighten the people who are downplay an ability thats is very useful and has a very distinct situational-purpose.
Rift Barrier adds an absorption shield that last 15 seconds after you use ANY plane shift ability, while Rift Guard adds an absorption through combo points.
So instead of alway having to use combo point to activate Rift Guard, having Rift Barrier allows you to use Shadow Blitz and Shadow Stalk to add a shield without doing anything extra. It like getting and extra buffalo wing from *insert your favorite wing place here*.
Furthermore, Riftstalkers should being using Shadow Blitz and Shadow Stalk/Rift Disturbance throughout the fight to distribute threat and AOE damage anyways.
In the end, like Rift Guard, Rift Barrier help mitigates damage.......you're a tank.....go get some! Who knows, it may save your butt more times than not![]()
