+2 on Doom relation with HF on Doom

[kohlman]

I know that dream+dream = lvl 30 holy shock. I was wondering if the plus all skills added to that. I heardthey didnt so i want to make sure. Also, what about the doom +skills? doom has lvl 12 Holy Freeze, but with the +2 skills, does it make it a lvl 14? If not, does the +2 only affect skills I personally am using? or all being used on me such as the dream holy shock aura and holy freeze aurafrom doom? any insight would be helpful...thanks :thumbsup:

I heardthey didnt so i want to make sure.You heard right

Also, what about the doom +skills?I fail to see why you think this would be different than other +skills

doom has lvl 12 Holy Freeze, but with the +2 skills, does it make it a lvl 14?As noted above, no.

If not, does the +2 only affect skills I personally am using?Yes.

'Aura when equipped' auras can only have their level increased by stacking multiple of these items on one character. The only other thing that boosts these auras is if you have native synergy points for them (i.e. hard points in Resist Cold will synergize your doom's holy freeze aura).

does the synergy bonus really add that much damage? i was looking at putting at least one point into it for some added damage and another resist aura which seems to come in handy at times

It's +15% per point invested. slvl 12 Holy Freeze adds 85-90 cold damage to your attack. You should be able to do the math from there.

Let me rephrase the question because I did the math a sec ago and it seemed to make a negligible difference.

Does it make a noticable difference for a point or has anyone ever had experience with this skill and how much the synergy is worth if at all?

A single point alone isn't much use, no. Generally, the auras main usefulness comes in it's ability to slow those around you.

It would take 7 skill points into resist cold in order to double your holy freeze damage (level 12 holy freeze with level 7 resist cold = 174-184 cold damage, 34-36 cold pulse).

If you were to max out resist cold, then a level 12 holy freeze aura would do 340-360 cold damage, 68-72 cold pulse.

If you don't have the points to spare for resist cold, then the holy freeze aura from Doom is best used for slowing those around you.
