+tree items and synergies

[adeyke]

Ever see a necro with Marrowwalk boots?

You are correct about there being a problem, as the boots can buggily give synergies. However, the problem is with the charges, not with +skills.

How about an assassin with Shadow Dancer boots?

I don't see how those would do anything.

I think I remember someone telling me a Barbarians BO also increases ones synergies, but it's been awhile since I've played D, so I can't be certian.

BO only increases life/mana/stamina. Maybe you mean Battle Command? In any case, that won't affect synergies, either.

I guess it needs to be mentioned now that some of the synergies are affected by +skills, though the vast majority of them aren't. For example, the free prayer with every cleansing or meditation is affected by +skills, as are the druid summoning synergies (these synergies already existed in 1.09 and they weren't nerfed into fitting the new synergy model).
