So i replaced all my 40ed/15ias jewels on my pally 4x with 40ed/15max jewels and for some reason I have less damage now...

After doing this swap I tested this also by having a 40-15ias s/s and a 40-15max s/s and it shows more damage with the ias s/s than max..

This makes no sense to me.

Any ideas?

15% ias will contribute to higher damage per second since you'll also be hitting more frequently. For future Diablo 2 questions; please post here: http://forums.d2jsp.org/forum.php?f=21

When using Ed/max jewels the Ed only goes towards the minimum damage.

It's actually shown that enhanced damage is far more efficient than maximum damage. With max damage, you only raise the cap of your total potential damage output; thus ruining the damage consistency.

What does this have to do with my post? I'm simply telling him why his character screen shows less damage while using Ed/max jewels.

No worries, it was a bit of extra information regarding the question. Thanks for the help in clarifying that max adds to ed; I had no idea of that

Mini mod in training, you'll see him all over this forum trying his best.

I don't know if this still is in game, as I quit a while back. It was around when I played and had some run ins with it.

"This applies to any non-weapon item:

Case 1: Item has innate %ED. You socket with a +Max or +Min Jewel. No bug.

Case 2: You socket an item with a %ED Jewel. Then you socket with +Max or +Min Jewel. No bug.

Case 3: Item has innate +Max. You socket with a +%ED Jewel. The %ED only applies to minimum, not maximum.

Case 4: Item has innate +Min. You socket with a +%ED Jewel. The %ED only applies to maximum, not minimum.

Case 5: You socket item with a +Max Jewel, then you socket with a +%ED Jewel. The %ED only applies to minimum, not maximum.

Case 6: You socket item with a +Min Jewel, then you socket with a +%ED Jewel. The %ED only applies to maximum, not minimum.

Case 7: You socket an item with a %ED/Max Jewel. The %ED only applies to minimum, not maximum.

Case 8: You socket an item with a %ED/Min Jewel. The %ED only applies to maximum, not minimum.

Case 9: You socket an item with a %ED/Min/Max Jewel. The %ED applies to neither. "
