You don't have to run a simulation. Everybody knows that 9 min does more average damage than 4 max, but you'd have zero chance of a 3-hit kill in the example I presented.

the chances of you getting a 3 hit kill in the example you presented is surpassed by the chances of a solar flare killing us all within five minutes from me posting this

Good point, but the chance is actually 4/500*4/500*4/500 or about 1 in 2 million.

It probably matters more in LLD.

Also, it's a shame that rare bows aren't any good because a rare diamond bow would work great with min. damage jewels.

i personally use a min damage ring. its really your only source of min damage, and you get so much max damage from your charms already. my zon isnt anything special though, just cookie cutter.

9 min is better
