Could these gauntlets please get some love? Just simply increasing the duration of force barrier isn't that great of a perk, especially in PVP where it gets destroyed pretty quickly. You'd be much better of using an exotic such as Saint-14 or Glasshouse. The only reason I'm wearing them is because they look awesome af. Adding an extra perk from the defender skill tree such as 'unbreakable' or 'relentless' would make these gauntlets at least a bit more viable! And why doesn't the force barrier have a timer, but flame shield does? Nothing like jumping into a firefight only to have your force barrier dissappear...

Here's my idea: Have it increase the duration of force barrier, give the force barrier a 1.3-1.5 buff, and have Unbreakable automatically active. That would make them really good exotics that give you a solid melee based build. And would give purpose to the increased duration, as it does not normally last very long when you're being shot at even a little bit. Also, there should definitely be a timer on it no matter what so you know how long you have.
