Confused about max skill + bonus skill

[LiquidSnake]

If i have a skill maxed at 12/12 and have equipment that give me +6 to all skill jn the mastery i am using will i get the synergy bonus going from 12/12 to 18/12 or is it capped at 12.

I know nature mastery can get a third wolf with 16 or 18 point with bonus in that skill so it should apply to other mastery skill aswell

+4 is max so you will get 16/12 but u can just derank for 10/12 and you will still get 16/12 with 2 extra free points for new skills.

So if i have +4 and drop my pont from 12 to 10 it still give me 16/12 and i have 2 free skill point i can put somewhere else ? So i could technically abuse this and get a bunch points by just doi g that method or am i missing something here?

Its not abuse really, its just using your points/equipment to its best potential. Sometimes you give something up for wearing a lot of +skill items. They don't always have the best resistance on them and whatnot. Unless they are elite items. If you find a better item later without +skill bonus, you can maybe drop down to just +4 skills and go back to 12/12 again.

You misunderstood. If you have 12/12 and put on +6 you get 16/12 and two of those bonus points your equipment gives you will go to waste. You can only go 4 points over the normal maximum.

If you have +6 to skills, and take your base level down from 12/12 to 10/12, then the full +6 will be applied and give you 16/12.

EDIT: This applies to a Shrine of Mastery, too. Even those can't put you more than 4 levels over max. Depending on much you want to rely on finding a shrine, this can play into strategy for things like pets and auras that can stay at a higher level even after the shrine has worn off.

Alternatively for thing like pet if you find some gear that is otherwise rubbish but got + to skills for the mastery you get pets from you can put it on as you summon the pets and then swap to the overall better gear once you got the pets out and just save stash the skill gear for next session/death of you or the pets
