Notes:

Data collected on blitz, during nov/09 and jan/10 sets by Zliplus
All data values may be off by 0.005-0.01% due to rounding displays and other factors (the last digit may be off by 1)
It would also be useful to find out the default resist at 0 bars at each level

It's zero, thanks to a recent (and totally uneeded) nerf. Carltsai 07:37, 15 February 2010 (CET)

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 2.29% 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

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'.
