Hi, I guess my question is stupid as it seems evident, but I was wondering, when an object gives you charges, like for exemple hellrack with the immolation arrow, if you play bows and have points in the immolation arrows synergies talent, will it actually works with the skill charges ?
Sorry if my English is horrible, thanks.

Yes, synergies work with charges.

Thanks a lot for the answers, I am quite surprised, but in a very good way. I thought it would not.

After reading every info I could about that, I fell on something really less fun tho, apparently, only HARD points put into synergies will work on the skill (whatever it is charges or real skill from tree)
So if im correct, lets stay with immolation arrow lvl 18 (150 charges from hellrack) , If I put one point into fire arrow and explosive arrow, for synergies, all my + skills will not be taken into account for this synergy , only the 1 hard point ?

It kinda prevent me from doing it.

Disclaimer, long post, with my horrible English.

I play this game only in hc, and only pvm, and I play with totally untweaked chars, that means no broken high rune words, no annihilus and such.

I love bowazon much more than javazon, because for me gameplay is much more fun, as I tend to use a lot of things.

Currently I play with a perf buriza, a giant skull, a peace armor, low wt , and low, raven and carrion coil, and a rare mana leech res bowazon Amy.

I am in hell, and thanks to buriza insane damage I absolutely shred things which are not physical + frost immune.

My build consist in few points in strafe, and freezing arrow maxed and synergized. thanks to buriza once again I have perfect pierce, along with improved freeze and cold damage (on primary target that is)

This build works so well I am really, really happy with.
The troubles comes when I meet both pays and cold immunes, for which I traded a perfect hellrack on switch. The added elemental damages will be not enough to kill those effectively but here comes the lvl 18 immolation arrow, which, with the added elemental damage, and zoning, seems to be an interesting cheap way to get ride of those immunes. I have a few questions :
- would it be interesting to put 1 point into the two immolation synergies to gain a few damage on this lvl 18 immolation ?
- I read somewhere on trade forum that now ias caps are removed, does that mean BREAKPOINTS are removed, or only the max ias cap ? because if breakpoints are removed I would stop matter with d2 ias calculator :p

Thanks for those who get the courage to read and answer this

I mean this is true for almost all synergies, not only for synergies for charge, the only synergies that take into account soft points are Grizzly bear and the two wolfs from druids, when you cast any of those 3 they will take all the softpoints in the other two to calculate the synergies.

- Not really, 1 hard point is not going to add almost anything.
- The EIAS cap is removed, this means that the old breakpoints are still the same (this is a bit different for werewolfs/werebears tho) but if you keep adding more and more IAS you will reach new breakpoints that didn't exist before, so if you are not already in the last IAS breakpoint you don't even need to think about this, and if you are, you probabbly are not going to be able to reach the new IAS breakpoint unless you have hacked items (hero editor) or a really high level of fana or something like that.

Thanks a lot for all those clarifications. I wonder if there is a new iras calculator then, because I avoided triple 15 ias Jews and shael since I was way above the last As breakpoint of strafe using a crossbow.
