Barrier is important for a biotic build since it augments one’s shields with biotic barriers. Fully upgraded, this skill will boost our shileds and save us when we’re extremely low on health. An unyielding barrier and biotic link will be most crucial for a biotic build.
For an unlimited shield build, barrier is important as well, restoring shields at low health with the saving barrier upgrade. These will allow your shields to regenerate and continue regenerating as you traverse the battlefield.
