I am once here again to try and advocate for the barrier aura, this time with examples on why the aura should be buffed in comparison to public auras.

Barrier: 10 DR and 15 power. Fate tree aura. Second unlock in tree.

Starlight Overdrive 10 DR and 10 AP. 15 power more generally. Public hidden token unlock.

Magma Aura: 8 DR and 15 power. Only 2 DR less. A basic public aura.

The aoe is fine, the issue is in the aura. Nerf public auras or buff barrier. I should not be gunning for a public token aura that is stronger than my fate tree. This isn't a 'skill issue' as some so eloquently said before. If a hidden token unlockable aura is going to be stronger, what is the point of barrier being in a fate tree with the need for an application? At least give it the same stats as Starlight Overdrive.

My days on this character are coming to an end as she ages, but this needs to be fixed for future characters. Barrier used to be a respectable hidden and now people literally avoid devving for it because public options are stronger. 

Please fix this so people actually care about this fate tree and these hiddens again, because their lore and ic is really good, but the state of the aura is outweighing the interest of the ic. The barrier aura is not worth having.
