well + Maximum damage just adds to the highest maximum damage of the player ( i/e: you do 100 - 400 damage total,add a 15 max jewel, you now do overall 100 - 415 damage) whereaas with ED%, ED% affects ALL damage including minimum/maximum ,so the actual max damage number doesn't change much. ( i.e: 100-400 damage ED% would add to the minimum damage AND the Maximum damage ) this would make a + Max Damage jewel/rune/ Whatever APPEAR to give more damage, simply because it only affects the overall maximum damage shown. ED% adds to both min and max damage,thus giving more overall damage.


if you do 1-1000 damage, you have a CHANCE to only do 1 damage per hit... so raising your minimum damage shortens the gap in the damage that you do. ( Ideal is to have your min-max VERY close to each other, so you deal an average of more damage per hit.

if your min-max is ALREADY very close,you DO NOT want to be adding only max damage jewels/runes/etc beause that would increase the gap in your min-max damage. This means an ED% jewel would work MUCH better than a +Max.

sorry for spam,bud damn nice find... WTG man

ty ty.

Hopefully someone will offer well.

thinking a 15max/15ias jewel is better then a 40ed/15ias jewel is just retarded, but if you dont need the ias (like my pally) then i could understand thinking that a 40ed/10 min would be better (which i do) or even thinking a 40ed/15 max is better (which i dont) but 15ias/15max jewels are completely useless, unless you cant afford the nice ed/ias ones

anyway, nice find man

I had a +1 to max damage charm that raised my ladder assassin's damage 74 points. Honestly, I don't know how the whole damage max thing works. Only got the game a few months ago...

"( i/e: you do 100 - 400 damage total,add a 15 max jewel, you now do overall 100 - 415 damage)" - fubar

i think it adds damage to the WEAPON, not ur damage, actully im pretty sure, so its not JUST adding 15 damage, in some cases YES a 40/15ias IS WAY better

yes on items with LOW base damage IE, phase blade, a 30 max damage or MAYBE a 15/15 will be better than a 40/15ias

im not saying this is a BAD find, its an amazing find, just on ladder, these arnt that high of demand, there not that usefull sence there isnt much dueling going on and they dont help half the ladder chars IE trapasn, hammerdins, sorcs, ect ect... which is a good part of all good ladder chars

anyways

good find

Griffon You Da 92 Barb???If So im that 93 Sorc that came in ur game offering The Vex Didnt know you was a member here~

If You Wanta Trade The Jewl Ill Be Glad To Offer Somthing For It

Max damage + deadly strike = GG

I would say 15/15 would be better if you used a weapon like scourge or cryptic where minimum damage is behind hope...Just stack as much deadly as you can and better hope to god you get lucky in a crowd of Baal's Minions

I dont wanna be an ass but 40/15's of all colors were duped long time ago before .09

Its not as if I'm doubting you or anything, but the chance to find a legit 40/15 is very very hard.
