Is this really true? (druid forum)

That druid summons will gain synergy bonuses from +skills?

Saw someone mention this a couple of days ago, also noticed that some calculators adds from +skills.

I expect this to be true, but need it confirm by some1 who knows for a fact.

Thx in advance

eidt: plz move this... Wrong forum -> druid forum

Yes, this is true. Druid Summons are one of the very, very few skills that will count +skills in the synergies. The other exceptions include Prayer (only the Cleansing/Meditation synergy will count +skills- the Holy Bolt synergy only counts base points), Summon Resist, and anything with the word "Mastery" in the name (Fire Mastery, Skeleton Mastery, Golem Mastery, etc).

Also, all skills used by Minions or Hirelings will count +skills in their synergies, so if you give an A3 Merc a +2 skills armor, it will boost his skills by 2 points AND the synergy level of his skills by 2 points (except for Fire Mercs- their skills don't synergize each other, so they suck). Likewise, Shadows benefit from any +skills in their synergies and can very easily synergise with level 30+ skills, which makes them potentially very powerful trappers.
