Enhanced damage jewel in hat

Will this work as I want it to and increase my attack damage?

Right now with merc might, fanaticism and zeal, it's doing about 2k - 2.8k. I put a socket in a Shako and have a 20% enhanced damage jewel, would that put it up to ~2.4k - 3.3k?

The ed will work, just not in the manner that you are thinking. AFAIK, that 20% will just get added in with the X% from might, Y% from fanat, and Z% from zeal, basically it will increase your base damage(damage you do with a normal swing without any auras up) by an additional 20%.

I believe that is how it works, though nonweapon ED might get factored in differently for some reason.

Sounds about right to me. As a result using that ED jewel isn't really that helpful, as an extra 20% isn't going to change your damage by very much.

Evidently you're right. I gained about 20 damage, that was fun -_-'
