Interesting new stuff on Arreat Summit

[WarBlade]

Prior GF posts indicatd that interaction bonuses would only apply to actually assigned skills, not + skills items.  However, I have my doubts.

Question: Does anyone have said posts on hand?

The wording of the quoted statement to my mind reads as . . .
- Synergies have no impact on skill charges.
- Synergies have no impact on Cast on Attack/when Hit.
- Synergies have no impact on new item effects eg Sanctuary on the Phase Blade.
- Items with +Skills do contribute their bonuses when calculating Synergy benefits.

. . . and it's that last little point that is the one that's up in the air. Do +Skills contribute or don't they. The rumour mill claims only invested points can contribute although looking at the quoted statement has got me wondering. :huh: I'm also wondering if Geoff has interpreted information he's been given correctly. If not, it wouldn't be the first time the D2 community has been misinformed.

I'm looking forward to reading if anyone has the definitive answer, whether from Phrozen Keep or from that blizzard forum which I will not utter here . . . :P

Gandalf quote . . . sorry :unsure:

So is anyone 100% certain with the correct answer?
