Sorcery should directly affect the Power skill and not only damage spells

For me Sorcery should affect all spells, like power of buffs, debuffs, resurrection/animate dead power, sacrifice power etc, not just enchancing direct damage spells.

Yes, the 15% does not mean very much. Even with Armageddon or Implosion doing 1000 damage, it would only add 150 damage which is half an archangel. The investment is a bit underwhelming, just like having a hero specializing in damage spells (this is hardly noticeable in early game and have no consequences in late).

Doubling it would maybe favor too much the Dragogeddon strat I guess. Hard to say.

Sure, but after the tenth level wizards get more attack skill than spell power...

I think a 30 % boost to overall spell power would be nice. Would make Sorcery specialists worth considering. This would probably make them stronger spell specialists though? Oh well, at least they don't start with Resurrection.

That would actually make Sorcery the opposite skill of Interference.
But since Interference only works VS heroes and Sorcery works in all battles, maybe Expert Sorcery could buff Power by 20 or 25%?

If Expert Interference multiplies spell power by 0,7x and sorcery by 1,3x, the net effect would be 0,91x when both are applied. I think that would be OK.

Hmm yeah when you put them up against each other like that, then 30% Sorcery might be okay, or maybe 25%.

Like intelligence should boost power simply. Should be two similiar skills.

It is fine as it is. If all skills were equally good it would only be boring.

But is'nt it kinda bad game design, that some skills are only there to be avoided?
Sorcery, Learning, First Aid, Eagle Eye and Ballistics comes to mind.

Sorcery: Increase spell power vs. att/def via hero prim.skill progression odds.
Learning: +to~45%, takes up space but can help scaling hero.bonuses/monster.spec
FirstAid: make tent indestructible, i would want a full resurrect ability (@5*cost etc.)
EagleEye: make kiosks(what are they called?) only accessible to Scholar skill, make a larger map () so victory is not already decided after defeating one opponent.
Ballistics: make walls more HP, also allows ballista(artillery skill one) to participate in sieges (you can do this in a non-auto way by making the starting ballista in heros an army rather than hero slot)

I certainly would prefer it if the totally useless secondary skills were to be buffed or just removed. But Sorcery doesn't really fall into that category.

Honestly, all 3 war machine skills should combined, there is no need to seperate them, 2 rest skills could be new ones.

Yup D-tier skills First Aid and Ballistics, combined with C-tier skill Artillery, might make a half decent new B-tier skill.

I was thinking something along these lines for current "dead" skills:

First Aid (example numbers)
Double Tent HP and add 10% hp to creatures while Tent is alive.
Triple Tent HP and add 15% hp to creatures while tent is alive.
Quadruple Tent HP and add 20% hp to creatures while tent is alive.

Sorcery:
10/20/30% instead of current 5/10/15%

Eagle Eye:
Be able to learn from the enemy - Copy the value of 1/2/3 highest enemy Hero stats while the combat lasts (only considering ones where enemy stat is higher than player Hero)

Ballistics
In addition to current effect, adds +1/2/3 speed during siege combats.

Learning
15/30/45% instead of 5/10/15%. Each time Learning is selected for a skillup provide 1 additional skill pick to the hero. (essentially making it free skillup at cost of losing 1 skill slot for the endgame)

Numbers provided are just example ones.
