Data on this page needs confirmation

Level by Level Effect

• L1 : +0.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 75%)(75% with 2.__% barriers)
• L2 : +0.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 7_%)(75% with 2.__% barriers)
• L3 : +0.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 7_%)(75% with 2.446% barriers) Confirmed by Traius
• L4 : +0.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 7_%)(75% with 2.43% barriers)
• L5 : +0.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 7_%)<75% with 2.40% barriers>
• L6 : +1.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 76%)(75% with 2.37% barriers)
• L7 : +1.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 76%)<75% with 2.34% barriers>
• L8 : +1.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 76%) 75% with 2.26% barriers (confirmed by zli on 05/12/09)
• L9 : +1.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 77%)<75% with 2.28% barriers>
• L10: +1.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 77%) 75% with 2.24% barriers (8% with 0 Bars)
• L11: +1.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 77%)<75% with 2.20% barriers>
• L12: +1.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 78%)<75% with 2.16% barriers>
• L13: +1.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 78%)<75% with 2.12% barriers>
• L14: +1.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 79%) 75% with 2.02% barriers (confirmed by masupilamu on 18/8/09)
• L15: +1.5 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 79%)(75% with 2.__% barriers)
• L16: +2.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 80%)(75% with 1.__% barriers)
• L17: +2.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 81%)(75% with 1.__% barriers)
• L18: +2.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 81%)(75% with 1.__% barriers)
• L19: +2.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 82%)(75% with 1.__% barriers)
• L20: +2.0 to current barrier resistance (Max barrier resistance = 83%)(75% with 1.58% barriers)

NOTE:

• Angular brackets <> indicate unconfirmed numbers (best guess based on number patterns).
• The data for L20 may be incorrect. If it were correct then then barrier resistance adds a lot more than the 2.0 that it sows below. 2.5% = 75 is normal, meaning 1% = 30 resistance, so 1.58% should equal 47.4. 75 - 47.4 = 27.6 resistance. So according to what they wrote, at lvl 20 resistance they are getting 27.6 barrier resistance free. At high lands that saves a lot of mana upkeep saved per turn (= a lot of extra units for blue or black).
• It seems that there is a diminishing return once to break the 75% threshold.

Effects

• Level 1-5 : +0.5 to current barrier resistance
• Level 6-10 : +1.0 to current barrier resistance
• Level 11-15 : +1.5 to current barrier resistance
• Level 16-20 : +2.0 to current barrier resistance

So does it go:

• Lvl 1 = 0.5
• Lvl 2 = 1
• 3 = 1.5
• 4 = 2
• 5 = 2.5
• 6 = 3.5
• 7 = 4.5
• 8 = 5.5
• 9 = 6.5
• 10 = 7.5
• 11 = 9
• 12 = 10.5
• 13 = 12
• 14 = 13.5
• 15 = 15
• 16 = 17
• 17 = 19
• 18 = 21
• 19 = 23
• 20 = 25

?

Bonuses

• Level 10+ : 8% free barrier resistance (at 0 barriers)
• Level 15+ : Unknown if existing.
• Level 20 : 83% at 1.85% or 2.5% bars

History

• This skill originally was a skill, but it is replaced now (by Legendary Artificer)
  • You could have higher maximum resistance from building barriers (more then regular 75 maximum).
  • You would have needed to build more than 2.5% barriers to gain this benefit, hence it was changed in January 2007.
• This skill has been made a skill (January 2007), allegedly it 'now gives free barrier resistance'.
