Skill Tree and item/shout boost issues

General Discussion
1

Hopefully I’m writing this in the proper category.

I’m wondering if there are issues with item bonuses to the skill tree and synergies not working properly. OR if some of the descriptions aren’t accurately reflecting the synergy that is being applied.

Example: My Barbarian has shout, battle orders and battle command. Each has a synergy to increase the time it lasts for each point in either skill. When I use battle command for example, OR I have an item that increases all skill tree points, those times increase accordingly in the description as well as the actual time the skill lasts.

Now, I also have synergies where for example for every point in Berzerk it should give 1% magic damage to Frenzy. Unlike the Warcries, the synergies don’t appear to be working properly, OR the description isn’t updating correctly.

Example: I have one point in Berzerk and I have items that are granting a total of 2 extra points so 3 in total. However, Frenzy shows that I only have 1% added magic damage.

Hopefully I explained this well enough to understand. Anyone have insight on this?

I know I asked questions specifically about a Barbarian, but I don’t know if other character classes are having similar issues.

Synergies only count hard points, not plus to skills. Druid summons are only exception.

Hard points? Not sure exactly what you mean.

As I mentioned, I get synergies from plus to skill in the Warcries skill tree. Are you saying I shouldn’t?

Hard points means that you use your actual skill points that you manually place. For war cries, you are not getting the synergy bonus when plus to skills items are used.

Hmm, I thought I was. That’s an unfortunate turn… I was hoping the synergies worked with the bonus to skills from items. That changes everything…

If that was the case you’d get builds that get into millions of damage and that’s not how the game was designed (for numbers that big)

Understandable. It also limits the options for builds too. I was hoping to have more flexibility.
