It can be tuned at some point certainly, but damage received by the bubble isn't reduced by armor or resistances, so the comparison to health isn't entirely accurate.

do you know the dmg isnt reduced by armor ? was this tested somewhere? like was there a difference between wearing carapace or the eitr set ?

I tested it some time back so I don't remember the details, but it's easy enough to try again.

My skill level of 19 tops off the barrier by 5 per level, so it absorbs almost 300 damage.

Deathsquito deals 90 damage per attack, the barrier lasted 4 hits.

Eitr-weave armor which provides 56 armor value is enough to reduce damage from direct stings to less than 30. If armor was taken into account for the barrier, it would last many more hits than 4.

I did the same thing earlier with root harnesk and different armor, when my skill level was like 2. It lasted three attacks then.

But, if anyone can provide more structured test results or other information, feel free to add to discussion. :P
