Can skills go over their max with items?

[bazola]

Not sure what to search to find the answer. If I have an item that raises a skill over its natural maximum (12/10 for example), what happens?



Thanks

Depends on the skill, some do give benefits even past their limit and some don't. From what I heard, most skills should give you the bonus. Examples of skills that don't, are the Marksman's Dead Eye and Escape skills. So, you have to experiment around a bit to find out which ones do and which ones don't. As a rule of thumb, though, I'd say generally no passive skills will exceed their limit even with items.

they dont, for my aura on guardian, it showed me the furtherstats of the skill at lvl 11, but once i invested the skill it stayed at lvl 10

Rubix3 posted a similar thread about this, and was saying that all skills do exceed, and I pointed out that there are exceptions, so I'm pretty sure guardian auras fit in that passives rule of thumb I posted above.

Venom armor for evoker doesn't exceed max. Had bonus items for total of lvl 12, still only gave me lvl 10.

care to mention which skills do exceed? i've tried to exceed quite a number of skills on various classes, with no success.

erm... well now thats not entirely correct , when i invested the last 2 skill points into that skill at stayed at 10 even though it said "next Level: blah blah blah"

now that makes sense, since afaik u cant exceed the max limit of skills. doubt anyone can prove otherwise.
