| Author | Why doesn't faction def work against necro magic? |
|---|
As a wizard, my spells do less damage to those with wizard faction. Same thing applies as a Dark Elf. However, one thing I have noticed a few times now, is that when Necros cast, the damage is the same--regardless of any necro faction def.

Is this a bug? | If you are referring to the Poison damage, it is seemingly like that because it is not the Necro doing damage, the Necro casts the Mass Poison spell and causes the opposing units to be come poisoned, it is the state "Poisoned" that causes Poison damage, so Faction resistant doesn't count.
Or at least that's the best explanation for this. | As a wizard, my spells do less damage to those with wizard faction. Same thing applies as a Dark Elf.
It refers only to the offensive spells (those which are doing direct damage on spot, like magic punch, lightning, fireball and so on). Poisoning, delay, curse and so on are considered passive spells and they are not affected by the faction level of the opponent. Or at least that's what I know. | As far as I can tell, poison is an effect, not a damaging spell which causes damage
# damage dealt to you by representatives of this very faction - every skill level decreases the damage dealt by that faction to you by 3%;
as poison isn't damage dealt to you, this would make sense
HOWEVER, barbarians faction ability is resistance against offensive magic as a whole, and therefore poison can therefore be resisted a little | If you are referring to the Poison damage, it is seemingly like that because it is not the Necro doing damage, the Necro casts the Mass Poison spell and causes the opposing units to be come poisoned, it is the state "Poisoned" that causes Poison damage, so Faction resistant doesn't count.
So it would mean that faction resistance doesn't work against all factions having access to this spell (Demon, Knight, Dark Elf.)
Am I right? | #5
If takesister is correct...indeed. Poison should not be subject to faction resistance for all factions with the poison spell.
#4
Barbs resist poison and all other effect/offensive spells the same way if I recall (based on their faction level)
Someone would have to check with the Demon/Knight/Dark Elf to know if Poison is above the faction def--or it is something that needs to be adjusted for the Necro. | | One more thing. Unless there is a difference between Hero Spells and those of, say a Genie, then even the Genie's Poison spell is reduced on enemies (as a wizard of course) that have Wizard faction def if my memory is correct. |
