How exactly...

[Yossarian]

does the charged item bug work? Doesn't seem to for me.

[5Ws]

it adds to synergy when its not suppose to.
say you have something that gives you 20 charges of lvl 20 fireball, and you are a sorc, then the computer thinks that you actually put in 20 points into fireball, therefore lets say meteor, which is synergized by fireball, gets a damage boost when it is not suppose to.
not sure if it works with all charged items, only a few uniques i think.

[Diab]

It does work with all charged items.

Isnt that a bad analogy 5Ws?

Fireball is a prereq for meteor...so you couldnt have meteor without fireball already. the "Bug" only works if you don't have any points in that skill already. most popular example is the marrowwalks bug with bone prison (since it's not a prereq for anything)

[Yossarian]

I have a blizzard sorc using an orb with 40 orb charges, but it doesn't affect ice blast or bolt. Why? I have no points in orb. Shouldn't it syerngize them?

Thanks

The most important prereq for the synergy bug is that you MUST NOT have any points in the skill that has the charges.

This makes Marrowwalks one of the best exploits --- not only are those lvl 33 charges on the boots, giving you a lvl 33 synergy --- something you can never attain by spending skillpoints; boneprison is also the last skill in the branch, so you don't have to put points into there as prereq for other skills.

"No points" includes skillpoints as well as +skill from items.

yeah yeah, i just picked these skills randomly, didnt even think about it. thx for noticing.
yossarian, you must have NO POINT in the skill to make it work, since ice blast and such are prerequisites of orb, you have to put at least 1 point into it.

[Yossarian]

I have no points in orb, but a bunch of charges in an orb. I want to synergize ice blast. But so far it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a max on the number of charges that work? Like say over 40 charges and it ignores them.

Thanks

[Yossarian]

Aw maybe I just got it. Do I want no points in the skill I want to use?

Thanks again

[Andy2702]

wait......so its the skill level of the charges....not the number of charges....ahh I see...


and btw, marrowwalks has level 33 bone prison, does that mean all 33 levels synergize, or just 20 of them, like how the hard invested skill points work.
