Hi guys,

I am looking for some advice with regard to which jewels to use for my whirlwind barbarian using IK set. Because I have minimal experience with ED/min/max dmg/strenght jewels hopefully someone can help.

I have 3 sockets for jewels, 2 in IK helm and 1 in IK armor.
For my IK helm I was thinking of using these jewels:

Realgar Jewel of VirilityJewel
Required Level: 42
Fingerprint: 0x1eee1137
Item Level: 85
Version: Expansion 1.10
+24% Enhanced Damage
+9 to Strength

Realgar Jewel of VirilityJewel
Required Level: 37
Fingerprint: 0x5fd33a88
Item Level: 80
Version: Expansion 1.10
+27% Enhanced Damage
+6 to Strength

Strenght will lower my hard points into strenght for IK weapon and armor and strenght itself plus ED will up mu dmg output. I also have 37 and 39 ED jewels. Is it a good idea to use the ones with lower ED, but with strenght instead of the clean ED ones?

Secondly, for the armor I am thinking of using a 37 ed+1 dex jewel or the following one:

Blood TalismanJewel
Required Level: 37
Fingerprint: 0xcea7bc7c
Item Level: 75
Version: Expansion 1.10+
+7 to Minimum Damage
+51 to Attack Rating
+6 to Strength
+13 Maximum Stamina

I think that overall this jewel might result in more dmg than the 37ed one, but I am completely unsure whether this is correct and if using a jewel like this is a complete waste of the jewel or not.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Hookipa.
