[[Barrier]] is a [[combat]] mechanic that provides a temporary [[health]] buffer, absorbing [[damage]] before it affects a [[character]]’s actual health. Barrier disappears 5 seconds after being applied. If a new barrier is applied while one is already active, their values stack, but the original barrier will still expire 5 seconds after its initial application. The amount of barrier generated is based on the caster's [[healing power]] attribute, and is capped at 50% of the recipient's maximum health in [[PvE]] and [[SPvP]], and 25% in [[WvW]]. <br />
<br />
In the [[Graphical user interface|user interface]], barrier appears as a yellow section in the upper part of the health orb. Damage dealt to an enemy's barrier appears as yellow floating damage numbers, while the barrier applied to allies appears as light-blue "healing" numbers. Barrier will not reduce [[fall damage]]. This mechanic was first introduced in the [[Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire|Path of Fire]] expansion.<br />
<br />
Similar to [[healing]], the barrier total a skill applies can be calculated using the following formula, where Coefficient and Base Value are parameters of the skill:<br />
<br />
:<code>(Coefficient * [[Healing Power]]) + Base Value</code><br />
<br />
It is not affected by outgoing healing modifiers.<br />
