Editing Damage BarrierGive feedback

'''Barriers''' are a pool of additional health that takes damage before [[Health]] is reduced. Barriers block all incoming damage, whether that be [[Spirit Damage]], [[Weapon Damage]] or [[Melee Damage]]. [[Damage Resistance]]s apply to shields. 

== Notes ==
* [[Troopers]], [[Guardian]]s, [[Walker]]s, the [[Patron]], and [[Denizen]]s ignore barriers and deal damage directly to health.
* Any instance of excess damage dealt to completely destroy a barrier is then done to health. 
** For example, a Dynamo with 100 barrier health and 0% [[Spirit Resist]] takes 168 spirit damage from Vindicta's Assassinate. 100 spirit damage will break Dynamo's barrier, the remaining 68 spirit damage is done to health.
