When do you max prereqs?

Wait a sec. you are gonna stand there and tell me that i'm wrong and at the same time say that there is no way you can prove it?!

(For the following, I'm ignoring those "synergies" that are affected by +skills, as the bone skills definitely aren't in the list and as they thus aren't terribly relevant).

1. Blizzard did state that items wouldn't increase synergies. The charges synergy bug is the only exception to this.

2. Since only base points count for synergies, you're limited to a maximum 20 synergy points per synergizing skill. The charges synergy bug is the only exception to this.

3. Putting points in bone prison eliminates the effect. You'd thus be heavily penalized for actually investing in the synergy. This behaviour doesn't make any sense if it was an intentional feature.

4. It's overpowered. The boot slot is perhaps the least valuable of all for necros. With this, however, you get 33 synergy points for just that slot. That translates to at least a 40% increase in total damage for the bone attack skills and +495 bone armour absorption (as well as a bonus to bone wall).

Those four things are sufficient evidence for me. If it looks like a bug and smells like a bug, it's a bug, even if Blizzard hasn't acknowledged it as such.
