'''Magma Barrier''' is an [[attack]] [[skill]] that infuses your [[shield]] with magma. A magma-infused [[shield]] releases a spray of magma when struck, damaging enemies. Magma Barrier requires an equipped [[shield]].
'''Magma Barrier''' is an [[persistent]] [[buff]] [[skill]]. Whenever you begin to use [[Raise Shield]] or [[Parry]], your [[shield]] will be briefly infused with magma. When you [[block]] a hit during this period, it [[trigger]]s a magma spray [[attack]] that deals [[fire damage]] to enemies in front of you and grants an [[endurance charge]].
==Skill functions and interactions==
==Skill functions and interactions==
Despite it being an attack skill, the attack damage % used by Magma Spray is derived explicitly from the base off hand fire damage inherent to the gem itself. The amount of damage listed on a weapon in the main hand will not contribute to the Magma Spray damage. Other mods such as {{c|mod|X% increased elemental damage with Attacks}} however will affect Magma Spray damage.
Base damage from this skill scales off of the equipped shield's [[Armour]] rating. Conditional modifiers that increase the Armour provided by the shield do not contribute towards the skill's damage. Passive skills with the mod {{c|mod|X% increased Defences from Equipped Shield}} does not affect the skill's damage.
Focusing on the [[Armour]] value on your [[shield]] is one of the methods for scaling Magma Spray damage.
This skill can be used with [[buckler]]s, but the Magma Spray will not gain any damage scaling due to it not providing any Armour.
Passive tree nodes that contain the text {{c|mod|X% increased Defences from Equipped Shield}} such as [[Towering Shield]], [[Core of the Guardian]], [[Spiked Shield]], and [[Flashy Deflection]] do not impact Magma Spray damage. Instead, they impact the final Armour value added to the player rather than the implicit Armour value of the shield itself.
Your weapon's local modifiers will not scale the damage of this skill. Damage is classified as off-hand damage regardless of the type of weapon you have equipped in your main hand or if you're [[unarmed]].
Using [[Resonating Shield]] counts as raising your [[Shield]] for the purposes of activating Magma Barrier, infusing your shield with magma during the first 0.5 seconds of the animation. Conversely using [[Shield Charge]] does '''not''' count as raising your [[Shield]].{{Bug}}
Blocking with Magma Barrier during the first 0.5 seconds of its activation will '''not''' place Magma Barrier on its internal cooldown, allowing it to be used in quick succession with each successful block that is within the allotted window.{{Bug}}{{confirm}}
