I noticed in the beta over the weekend that adding a skill point to blessed aim received from an item such as a scepter gave no 14% increase bonus to blessed hammer. I took the item off and put it back on several times and noticed no change in damage in my character window.
If there are any bonuses to skills and weapons, they should be reflected in the character window since they have such a nice UI now. Eg Damage to Undead/Demons
Skill bonuses from items do not grant synergy bonuses like this. Synergy bonuses are only granted from skill points spent.
