Meteor, for example, has fireball as a synergy skill. Adding to fireball will give your meteor a boost (while I don't have the exact numbers on me, it's some % more damage per skill point spent in fireball).

So, basically, synergies work exactly like the sorceress masteries -- one skill adding some bonus (usually more damage, but not always) to another skill. However, the synergy skill also retains its "normal" use.

Except that skill points from items or Battle Command don't help you with the synergies.

I haven't done my 1.10 homework here put it would make more sense that the synergies work like any other part of the skill and therefore will be effected by BC and + skills items. Although maybe I am wrong.

Other people have done their homework. There are some "synergies" that use the full skill bonus, but the vast majority of them count only the points that were actually assigned. These synergies thus do not benefit from +skills equipment.

It really is a balance issue. If +skills affected synergies, +skills equipment would be really overpowered. Or, if they took this into account when balancing it, not having +skills equipment would leave you really underpowered.
