    Please, put back Lightning Fury on Charged Strike's synergy list. Patch #14 have removed it. Long story short, it is a nerf on the furyzon build.

    And here is the long story. I did not play furyzon in ladder #14, so I did not notice the consequences of synergy list changes. Such is the reason I am complaining about it a whole ladder later. A high lvl baal runner furyzon uses 9 tool points on the passive tab (1 point on everything but valkyre), Lightning Fury 20, Charged Strike 20, and the rest goes on their synergies. Since Jab, Poison Javelin, Plague Javelin is on the way, the whole build demands 112 points. On lvl 95+, where Amazon really should solo baal run in 8 players, there are 106 skill points. Something has to be cut short. There are skills (Power Strike, Lightning Bolt, Lightning Strike) only useful as synergies. At least one of them won't be maxed out ever. As Lightning Fury have been removed from Charged Strike's synergy list, Charged Strike loses more synergy power compared to the synergy config, where Lightning Fury also empowers Charged Strike. The nerf is not brutal, but still, it is a nerf. Was that really the intention in patch #14?

    Hey, @ameth
    Please take a look at patch #14 notes and check the increased percentages - that gives an overall buff to Charged Strike actually.
    You can use a calculator to double check them, but tldr; Charged Strike ends up doing more damage and spending less skill points by having all other synergies giving more %.

    Well, then please, let me use that calculator.

    Let say, we are calculating lvl 95. On that level, Amazon can spend 106 points. Passive tab takes 9, jab 1, poison jav 1, plague jav 1, CS 20, Fury 20, 54 points left for synergies.

    In the old config, Fury itself is a synergy, and after another 54 points the result looks like this:
    20x10 + 20x10 + 20x10 + 14x10= +940%

    In the new config:
    20x14 + 20x14 + 14x14= +756%

    Not sure, if your calculator says the same, or did I miss something?

    Here is your first clue
    Don't use a calculator this time and do the math yourself. Keep it simple at 20x10x4 and 20x14x3 for even round numbers.
