  you should mention that reactive barrier is the only barrier that scales w spirit, so even tho it starts around 300 barrier can reach up to 800+ late game, which is p much a free diviners kevlar for 1600 souls

  i keep having to tell my boyfriend to counter buy… he constantly complains about a player being ahead on the enemy team and i have to ask him ‘well did you counter buy or are you going to counter buy?’ <br><br>😢 i have a feeling he doesn’t take me seriously cause he is the one who introduced me to the game

  divine barrier is better if there are people with ults that apply debuffs since dispel magic explicitly can&apos;t remove those! like pocket ult, wraith&apos;s silence on her ult, lady geist&apos;s soul exchange silence, drifter&apos;s ult effect, etc. also great in general bc you can still apply it to your teammates, so you can multitask a bit if you are not playing support

  Something that&apos;s often overlooked about Healbane that makes it even better is the heal on kill. Healbane&apos;s duration is 8s and gets refreshed any time you deal spirit damage to the target. If they die during the debuff duration, whether by you or your teammates, you heal for 275! This also, as far as I know, doesn&apos;t have a cooldown. It&apos;s fantastic for keeping you healthy in extended team fights, along all the other benefits it already has.

  A note for curse is that the interrupt doesn&apos;t actually stop non-channeled ultimates like chain gang (Billy) or concussive combustion (Infernus) where they can still shoot/use abilities while the ultimate is going on. Just keep that in mind because I still see people in high Oracle trying to curse Infernus ult<br><br>Another note is that metal skin does NOT prevent bullet procs. For heroes like Infernus you want dispel magic and plated armor because his damage comes from bullet procs. No idea why Yoshi allows that, but w.e. just another weird interaction that isn&apos;t stated anywhere<br><br>Anothernother note not mentioned in the vid. Divine Barrier is the only way to cleanse ult debuffs, and it is the ONLY way to cleanse curse but of course for your allies. If you&apos;re a support following around your Victor, buy DB

  Reactive barrier is one of my favourite items in the game, its only 1600 and it scales off of spirit, after laning u essentially have a barrier (400-600) that activates if ur hit with cc, its value is insane

  If an enemy has enough spirit power and torment pulse, you can basically get free constant Witchmail procs :)
