The myth behind ed/max jewel

Re: The myth behind ed/max jewel

no his math is right, multiplying by 1.4 is the same as multiplying by .4 and adding the original weapon's damage.

ex. 41.5 * .4 = 16.6
16.6 + 41.5 = 58.1, thus the 58

Correct. :thumbsup:

Re: The myth behind ed/max jewel

Scourge 3 to 80 (41.5 Avg) Thats the base stats.
41.5*1.4 = 58 thats how much 40ed adds.
15max dmg is 7.5 avg. 58+7.5=65.5

Do the same thing with 40/10min(40/5avg) and OHM.

The math is wrong because of the English used. The number 65.5 would be the average damage of a scourge socketed with a 40ed/15max jewel, not the average damage added by the jewel. Let's assume that Summerfun is correct. If a 40ed/15max jewel adds 65.5 average damage to a scourge, that would seem to imply that the total weapon damage increases by min + max = 131. Considering that the base damage of a scourge is 3-80, that would mean that the jewel itself is adding WAY more than 40%ed, which it isn't.

The only reason to add the original weapon damage would be when calculating the final weapon damage.

Re: The myth behind ed/max jewel

...and we're talking about socketing a weapon already having enhanced damage and/or maximum/minimum damage, and we're not talking about off-weapon enhancements... He fuxored the technical jargon, no harm done since everyone knows what he meant and English may not be his native language, as this is an international forum. Can we move on?

Re: The myth behind ed/max jewel

Actually english is not my native language.
But thats not the problem in this case.

I did it in a hurry and diddent notice that i were actually calculating the enhanced dmg + the base dmg.

Re: The myth behind ed/max jewel

might be a stupied question, but:

does socketing a ed/max jewel bug all ed that comes from that item or only the ed that comes from the jewel?

example: socket a 40%ed and 15 max jewel in an alma negra with 75% ed. will it be 115% ed on min damage then and + 15 dmg on max or +115% ed on min and +75% ed and +15 dmg on max?

another question: will grief +damage also be affected by the bug?

Re: The myth behind ed/max jewel

This, too, is answered in the other thread. It bugs added damage, but it's been claimed that it doesn't bug damage already on it, such as auric shields, Biggin's Bonnet/Tancred's Skull, and so on, but I remain unconvinced. As for Grief, that's a runeword and can't have additional sockets for such a bug, but +Dam is added only to a weapon's damage from other non-weapon items, so dual-wielding Passion and Grief while swinging with the former wouldn't matter.

this wasnt what i was aiming at, but on the other hand, my question was needless as +dmg from other items never is affected.
