Edit: Screwed up something.... Just wiping the post for now.
Edit2: Fixed the problem.
Yeah, I saw that, but since the synergies for Hydra are small it doesn't matter. Hydra does better from Mastery.
Since I had limited time and test chars were much quicker to put up, I looked at a sorc who can only put 53 points in the fire tree (quite a lot for a 2 tree sorc actually one in warmth and one in enchant is the other 2 the tables don't account for).
Quick results are as follows (I forgot to take the starting staff off so that is why firebolt is 1+1 or 10+1):
Yeah its not the best data set, but for hydra fire mastery is still much better than the synergies. Since both bolt and ball add 4% fire damage to hydra. For bolt and ball the synergies can be better, but it doesn't look that way for Hydra

Code:
Skill Levels     Damage
Firebolt = 1+1 Â 30-51
Fireball = 10 Â Â Â 223-274
Hydra = 20 Â Â Â Â 452-536
Mastery = 20
Firebolt = 1+1 Â 36-60
Fireball = 20 Â Â Â 438-498
Hydra = 20 Â Â Â Â 407-482
Mastery = 10
Firebolt = 10+1 106-139
Fireball = 20 Â Â Â 622-706
Hydra = 20 Â Â Â Â 319-379
Mastery = 1
and to see Hydra with maxed synergies and little mastery I spent 10 more points:
Firebolt = 20+1 Â 270-357
Fireball = 20 Â Â Â 985-1118
Hydra = 20 Â Â Â Â 370-439
Mastery = 1Yeah its not the best data set, but for hydra fire mastery is still much better than the synergies. Since both bolt and ball add 4% fire damage to hydra. For bolt and ball the synergies can be better, but it doesn't look that way for Hydra

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
