Synergy Issues

Been noticing a lot of issues with Synergies lately, especially when playing my tank since I try to activate those as often as possible. I mention Templar abilities a lot here since my wife plays a Templar Healer and these happen a lot when playing together.
First issue is sometimes it's really had to activate a synergy. For example Templar's Spear Shards (and any morph) and Sorcerer's Lightning Splash. The X prompt doesn't show unless you are in an exact correct location. So I have to button mash and move around it a lot to activate it.
Second issue is when there are multiple synergies possible. Good example here is if a templar drops Cleansing Ritual (or any morph) and drops shards, the prompt with toggle back and forth rapidly between the two, making it nearly impossible to activate them. It also plays the sound affect for being able to activate a synergy each time, so you hear it about 2 times per second.
Third issue is an order of importance one. If Templar drops Nova, Clensing Ritual and Spear Shards. It will keep toggling which one to activate. In reality a person would most likely want to activate an ultimate's synergy over anything else. So Ultimate's should take precedence over other synergies.
Fourth issue is the activation itself. I notice this mostly with Lightning Splash. If I activate the synergy with my Stamina Tank, the damage for each enemy it is in the 1-2k range. If I do it on my magicka sorc or templar, it's in the 5-6k range. I feel like synergies like this should base values off the caster who cast it, not the one who activated it since the caster is most likely magicka/spell based (in this instance) and as Stam Tank, my magicka and spell damage is very low, so it does almost no damage. I just find that on my tank it's almost useless to activate that synergy since the damage is so low. I can more than that with light attacks.

✭✭✭✭✭Synergies are basically broken.
The most noticeable one is shards. If a share is placed near you but you don't see the synergy at first you'll never see it even if you move around and through it.
When multiple synergies are available the one showing in my screen is not the one I actually activate.
Last, the synergy option appears and disappears. I will start an attack and see a synergy pop up. I pause before the next attack to take the synergy and it is not available. I start the next attack and the synergy option pops up again.
This makes it very challenging to keep up solid dps and grab useful synergies.
If Gina and Jessica would like additional information I would be happy to help further.

pema✭✭✭synergies are broken indeed, and it causes issues on mechanics of i.e. the sanctum ozara boss.
Also getting people rezzed up is an issue.... it was fine a while back... who touched it and why is it still bust?0
