1.  Furthermore it will cripple magicians by forcing them to chose a skill they dont need instead of getting something to strengthen their magic or their troops:

To increase the strength of my troops and decrease the strength of enemy troops is the same (my thoughts )


philosophically yes, concretely speaking no.
If it regards PvP it is correct but for PvE is too strong as nothing strengthens the PvE monsters stats and 90% of the battles are PvE.

May be it will be a good idea to add neutral heroes that cannot cast magic. (or at least not before certain level).

[quote=lotihoti]2.Balancewise is completely overpowered for PvE grinding.
That would be true. But PvE grinding isnt hard at all. Concerning you got a Magic school or good shooters. Most of the time you only Need a spell that blockes some tiles to rape shooters

3. Lorewise it doesnt make sense (except necropolis/inferno probably)
To decrease enemies Moral and luck is a very good way to decrease enemies strength. Right now there is no possibility to decrease that (except for howl of Terror, dead mans curse). Would give a lot of variety to the game.

4. There is already enough Magic resistance/protection in game.
Right now i only know very rare Magic protection (decreasing incoming dmg - not resistance) - if you have to use an artifact space you Need to sacrifize other stats.

5. With or without luck Might heroes are stronger and one new tree that removes luck will not do much.
Reducing Luck of 3 Points - with dead mans luck 4 Points, is huge. That would remove a lot of Magic resistence, a lot of Attack pushing. I would definitly choose that skill.

I recall it was considered an urgent balance issue in multiplayer duel and the fix was well received when the byte was finally found. I could compromise on a softer 10-15% if some don't like it, but you should try it, it doesn't feel like H3.

Spell System

In MMH5.5 the late game superiority of might heroes will be gone for good, no matter how long the game takes. The game uses much smarter algorithms to calculate the actual bonuses and turn times of light and dark magic spells. This will cause magic heroes to add more defense with endurance spell or give more initiative with the haste spell. Various summoning and destructive spells will also be finetuned to scale better into late game.

-Skill boosting or lowering spells have their bonuses calculated like 4/4/6/8 + 0.2 per Spellpower.

Example: A hero with expert light magic and 15 spellpower will boost defense with endurance by 8 + 15*0.2 = 11

-Slow and Haste boost initiative as: 10%/15%/20%/25% + 0.5% per Spellpower

Example: A hero with expert light magic and 15 spellpower will boost initiative wit haste by 25 + 15 * 0.5 = 32.5%

-Buff and Nerf durations are calculated like 1+0,5* Spellpower instead of 1+1*Spellpower

@Dace:

In the next version mass confusion will have area effect like vulnerability to make it less overpowered.

Titans are immune to all mind spells(PM, Frenzy, Confusion).

That is not a relevant measure since if someone has 100 titans, the enemy will have 2000 centaurs

As a pretty experienced H5 Player i noticed that only inferno can get snatch plus warpath (its named pillage i think). Is that true ? Snatch + warpath is extremly powerful and inferno is a strong faction too, maybe not vs sylvan .

If you calculate avg movement gain, warpath is actually weak skill, weaker than basic logistics which gives +250 every day. The branch is attractive because of imp scavengers which combines 2 skills (goblin support+spoils of war) into one.
