In Diablo 4, a basic gauge is causing confusion among players because it’s overly complicated.
In Diablo 4, there are a few fundamental aspects that make the game a game for players. These include the classic looting and leveling as well as the challenge offered when playing.
Of course, there are also players who decide to take it easy, but die-hard fans of the action RPG fight for survival in hardcore mode.
But the more difficult the challenge, the more important a basic indicator that you know from almost every game becomes: health.
In Diablo 4, health includes not only your character’s life points but also states that are displayed in such a complicated way that some players in the ARPG subreddit were still confused even after trying to explain them.
What’s the problem with the ad? In addition to the health of your character, there is also the “Tempering” and the “Barrier”.
All three gauges overlap in Diablo 4, changing the way the health gauge looks without really making it clear what they mean. What does steeling do? What does the gray ring mean? How long does my barrier work?
Players are confused despite explanation
What do steel and barrier do? On Reddit, a user tried to resolve the confusion surrounding the various ads and explain them with an image.

But the picture apparently could not help every player. One user replied, “I still don’t get it,” and received over 400 upvotes (via Reddit) for his honesty.
Another player stepped in, shed some light on the matter in writing and explained the ads and their effects. He says:
