dragon scale question

if i was using dragon scale and 2 of trangs set, would the hydra from dragon scale gain damage from the fireball, ?

No since +certain skills don't synergise. Only hard points in the synergy will add damage, and paladins dont have any fire spells


i could be wrong

That might not be entirely true. I heard that it is possible to gain a bonus for the hydra in the form of Fire Mastery from the sorc. And pala's do have fire skills, but they don't synergise afaik. But as for your question: 2 trang parts do not add synergy bonuses.

Correct (except for Holy Fire and Vengeance)

When the "synergy" adds an overal effect, it doesn't count as a synergy (eg: fire mastery for fire ball, or spirit wolves for grizzly) and you can pump it up using +skills, when it's a pure synergy, you need hard points.

Extra: iirc, there used to be a bug with Marrowwalks, some Necro boots that have lvl33 bone wall charges. Equipping those before 1.11b would give lvl33 synergies to all skills that had bone wall as a synergy (or is it bone prison?) instead of the maximum lvl20 hard points one can spend in a single skill.

(This would add loads of extra magic damage for your bonespirit/spear and add alot of damageabsorption for bone armor)

what about a hellfire torch granting levels to hydra, would that stack with the hydra he's talking about?

Hydra on torch are just charges, not actual +skills like on dragonscale

oh, stupid error, sorry. only ever had one torch and i gave it to my younger brother basically as soon as i got it, so my memory failed me on that one.

You recall correctly. Also, back before this was fixed (1.10) the synergy bug affected all of the above - so his answer would've been 'yes' back before this was all straightened out. Fortunately, nowadays synergies are just that - and don't apply to things with charges anymore (including Marrowwalks).
