Skill synergies

A synergy makes a skill deal more damage for every level of another skill or passive, as in Diablo II. Synergies are why a skill you never cast can still be worth its slot: each level of Fire Bolt raises Fire Ball and Meteor.

How they count

• Each synergy adds a set percentage per level of the linked skill, shown on every skill page under Synergies, with the bonus per level.
• Levels from gear's +skills count, as D2's synergies count them.
• A class passive that raises a skill as its synergy counts each of its levels as four of D2's points, as it does everywhere else: a maxed Vigor gives Blessed Hammer D2's 20 points.
• Some synergies are element-specific: Vengeance's fire, cold and lightning each take only their own resist aura's synergy.

Example

Synergies

Name	Per level
Fire Bolt	5%
Fire Ball	5%

Synergy for

Name	Per level
Fire Bolt	16%
Fire Ball	14%

Meteor gains from both Fire Bolt and Fire Ball. Learning Fire Bolt again after it has evolved (it takes its own slot) adds its levels back to Meteor.
