Diablo 4 players are frustrated with barrier buffs to enemies instead of increasing their health. Many feel this change drags out battles without adding meaningful challenge.
On Reddit, user -Rhialto- voiced their dissatisfaction, saying:
“A barrier on every mob looks like a cheap way to add difficulty.”

Similarly, Redditor Wraithfighter echoed these concerns:
“Getting tired of fighting barrier’d damage sponges. This isn’t an interesting buff—it nearly triples their health but doesn’t make fights harder, just longer.”

Many players believe these changes impact early-game characters the most, speculating that the issue might lessen once they reach Level 60 and unlock more Paragon points. However, for now, the community is searching for the most effective ways to break through these barriers quickly and urges Blizzard to reconsider the design choice.
