lol its serving me really well on my mf berserker right now, better then stormshield nice survivability and gg clear speed

have you ever heard about bug ed-dmg on non weapon?

**JEWEL INTERACTIONS**
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.

fine you know about this, considering how bad the jewel choise it was, i doubted about that

wtf, grief does basically 435-440 on pb (if perf roll and sup)
so any +min dmg after the 5th i get will give 1 min and 1 max so this shield basically is a 90%ed (vs demon) +74 damage shield which gets multiplied by like 1500%ed or something i didnt bother adding up str on titan build + berserks like 800% ed and sword mastery
add in good 8-9 min dmg rings ideally

trust me play with the calculator a bit yourself you will find that once you have crazy dmg %ed like on a charger, its better to have raw damage at some point because more %ed wont have that big a synergy

it's not about how this shield help you with trav, because if this is the reason you don't die it means your barb is poorly built.

but let's skip the theorycraft and let's assume you're right.
i'm just saying that the jewels have crazy low stats and can be considered trash.

are you making the argument that it's better to use some sort of weapon offhand to berserk with? and having no block?
or are you making the argument that it's better to use a different shield then this one

dont remember what value jewels but this is a rundown of the average stats per jewel, I would say that is a pretty fucking sweet pvm jewel lol
7.25 ed
15 ed vs demons
9.25min (18.5 raw dmg on min build)
42.5 ar
17.65 ar vs demons
3 str
2 life
7.25 fire res
3.25 mf

absolute ideal mods i suppose would be a 30ed 30ed vs demon 20mf jewel and then three 18min 20mf jewels or something

grief with beast offhand I guess will give you better damage. Or if you really want 75% block (no need whatsoever...) then 40/15ias or 40/9str in shield, or 30/9/9/x rare jewels

10/10
