Do synergies benefit from +skills??

Post by Claudius »

Hi I notice in one guide (fishyzon) that they plan for maybe +5 or more javelin skills. Yet 20 pts is put in charged strike and 20 pts in Lightning fury. Now lightning fury only gets 1% to its synergy from each skill so do not think of LF in my example.

I am thinking of CS with its 10% from each synergy. With say +9 to javelin skills it is getting +100 from power strike, +100 from Lightning bolt and +290 from lightning fury for a whopping +490 percent to to CS base damage.

Wouldn't you want to take lightning strike for 1 pt for another +100 percent to CS. Then I would think you could save 2 pts or more on CS and still do identical damage. Obviously I haven't done the math but in any case you will be doing more damage. Maybe you could save even more.
Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.

You only get synergies from real points put into skills. You don't get synergies from plus skill items. 20 is also the max number of points you can put into a skill.
Always remember you're unique ... just like everyone else.
