Barrier

From Diablo 4 Wiki

What is Barrier

A temporary additional barrier of protection that can be gained through certain skills and items worn.

What does Barrier Look Like

The player's Health Orb shows a blue hue indicating there is an active Barrier. As the Barrier effect depletes you'll see the blue hue drain.
