If an item grants a skill that normally belongs to a particular class, does it add hard points (in a way) to this skill, if you play that class and have the skill?
A concrete example - a barbarian with 1 point in Wolf Companion, wearing
Maffer's Frenzy
Maffer's Frenzy
Light Plated Boots (Sacred)
Defense: 784 to 868
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 625
Item Level: 115
2% Chance to cast level 13 Psionic Scream on Kill
+1 to All Skills
25% Attack Speed
(10 to 40)% Movement Speed
Adds 3-5 Damage
50% Bonus to Attack Rating
+18 to Wolf Companion
Elemental Resists +(20 to 30)%
+20 Life after each Kill
Socketed (4)
Curse of the Zakarum
(Zakarum Set)
. Will the boots add just 18 soft points (just increasing the stats of the 1 wolf that the barb can summon) or will they work like hard points, adding more wolves (the skill gives +1 wolf per 5 hard points)?
