- You'll have a 30% golem type protection from damaging spells (so no total miss for a "fail chain lightning" for example).
I suggest then for the actual golems it cummulates (you'll have -50% for your golems and -30% on the reduced damage to them, no add [50%+30%] to get the bonus or golems will be soon immune to magic)

I don't agree here Baronus.
Interference and resistance do quite the same thing. Increasing the number of skill are "redundant" does not improve the game quality imo.

Imagine an other skill to improve combat damage with a different effect (like lets say add attack skill to creatures, a bit more to lower level creature let's say) it will do like offense or like primary skills to non ranged attackers...
Would it make the game better ? I don't think so. Even if you make it nor better nor stronger than offense or archery...

Most important is to let "choices" (so a good amount of skills is, and here you're right, necessary)... But to equlibrate better the skills for they have "all" a place to be used (not really "niche" one).

The other point to "not add" too many skills is the "random issue". If you have maaaaany skills, its harder to equilibrate them and you'll have difficulties to get "the needed ones" when you level up.
So a huge random unbalance may be made...

Useless to copypasta the entire post to one answer...

They don't do the exact same thing, but they "just" both decrease the spell efficiency in their own way...
Problem I point is they both are only of use on fight against hero (so veeerrry few time in the game compared to offense or armorer or sorcery or logistics or...) and if you make a game with both those secondary skills they'll be redundant.
Would you ever have a hero with both resistance & interference skills on its 8 skill tree if random gets you these ones ?

I fear you may be talking with no testings or knowledge I'd say...

First of all, if you were accurate :
- The occurency of blind, age, stone gaze and many more are usually 20%... So a -20% means 4% chances to work whitch is not a great change.
Its faaaaaaaaaaar less powerful of +30% of damage on all units in all battles !
- The number of neutral creatures who have these kind of abilities is very low (less than 10% ? depends on how you count them)
- And in fact, it does not work as you think at all !
I tested a Thogrim level 51 with all artifacts of magic resistance (so 20+50*5*20+5+10+15 = 150% magic resistance...)
And you know what, my army could be petrified, ill and even cursed !
So maybe if its not written in the log, it MAY be because that does not work like that. What on earth makes you say "even if its not written in logs it works like ..." ?

It works on fairy dragons and I have not tested if it also works on effreti sultans. Out of there, resistance does not counter abilities so its mainly totally useless out of fight versus hero. There it can be game changer as some powerful spells can be very strong but out of that its quite a "dead skill" all over the game.

Sorry to be a bit aggressive but if you talk about "facts" just test them before saying so.

I'm afraid you have not tested it !
I told you I tested it.

Weakness is the exception and is a spell. When you're on magic ground its casted as expert aswell. You claim you have experience but have not even tested your "facts".

For abilities like illness and petrification I told you I TESED IT and resistance DOES NOT protect against them because I was affected by them with a 100%+ resistance hero. I added to testings curse from mummies and death knights and also poison from wyvern : my troops were affected.
This was tested on standard game with not any patch.

So I'll answer your own words : I'm afraid you don't have enough experience in Heroes 3 to argue about this.
