Maximum number of skill points per skill?

Including bonuses you get from rings/armors/items (like GCs), what is the maximum limit on the skill point you can have per skill? Is it 40?|||There is no hard cap, but in practice it�s limit by what items are in the game.

The limit is 20 (if the class has the skill) + whatever +skills items you can wear +1 (Battle Command) +2 (Skill Shrine).

So it depends on the skill how many levels are possible. I think someone came up with the number 52 or something like that, for Inferno (with a Barbarian dual-wielding Flamebellow swords).|||There is no hard cap that I'm aware of. Skills can be pushed above level 40 with the right setup.

Edit: pwned by jiansonz|||I belive that the highest possible skill lvl is 61. That is Necro Skeleton Mastery after skill shrine and battle command.|||You probably assume +3SM/+3 summon wands and necro heads. It needs an elite wand/head with a very low item level to get that combo, but it's impossible to produce them, including cube recipes. The closest you can come is imbuing with a L8 character, but rares cannot have more than +2 on a skill tree (and it will need a LOT of imbues). That means, AoKL/+5 wand and a +5 head will be the maximum.

Skill ranks: +20

+3 summon amulet: +3

2 sojs: +2

+3 summon circlet or Undead Crown: +3

AoKL/imbued wand: +5

Rare imbued head: +5

CoH/Arkaine's/Enigma: +2

Gloves: 0

Arach: +1

Marrowwalks: +2

9 sumon skillers, Anni, torch: +13

Skill shrine: +2

Battle command: +1

That's +59.|||Wouldn�t a 'White' wand made in a wand with inherent +3 SM lead to +7 SM?|||That's correct, I overlooked that. Then it's +61, of course.

However, you need a low ilvl to have a chance on SM as a staff mod and those wands which can have two sockets at low ilvls are from TC18 (bone wands) or higher, so it might need fixing a cracked one by the recipe (which produces an ilvl 1 one) to get one with +3 SM.|||You can shop sockted Bone Wands in Act II Normal. Only 10% of the staffmods will be level 1 staffmods, though.

You can increase the chance to get level 1 staffmods (to 30% I think) if you shop with a character that is exactly level 13 (you need to be this high to see Bone Wands at all).



Repairing low quality wands works too, of course.|||you old guys, and your cracked wands!!
