realm specific
I'm still not even sure if bb is better than dungo, rep is really good on a sin, you lose some stats and have to use 2x 20/11s big deal. Losing the +skill does suck though.
btw how is two damage jewels the same damage boost that hl gives?

well bb is by far / way / extremely superior than dungo
> +1skils / + 5%dr = you can put up to 6x trapskillers when you need, maintaining the %block and max%dr, being able to reach up to +6 LS compared to dungo, and ofc +1 skills = you can use 1 extra trapskiller instead of shadowskiller, maintaining all bp/%block/%dr etc on main setup.
> extra 10%ias / 10%slow / 40 BOABLE stats / 20@allres... , no point imo
13rep = 76life per minute on the other hand

how jools boost you dmg?
remember this is not a barb, and phys damage is affected by few%ed from ofhand: few +% clawmastery / -%from ww / +% from str/dex
if you get 2x 40/9/9 jools, thats = to 80 + (36*0.75) = 107%enhanced damage (just like having 27 extra points in claw mastery

)
this 107%dmg, with my main claw for example (check my profile), pushes my max physiscal dmg from 15xx to 19xx which is around
~ +27% physical damage increase, in either min/max from fools / gchaos, all phys dmg sources, and the same % for non eth claws
on the other hand, highlords adds
~ +29-30% average physical damage increase, which is only 2-3% more average phys dmg added.
on top of that you have to remember that your ww damage is physical + venom + ow + magic dmg from chaos + coold dmg from raven (lol), that means, that, in my case for example, the advantage of highlords vs jools in terms of phys dmg on ww varies somewhere from 1% to 3%
while the benefits from bugbelt + fcr amulet + jools is way better than hl + arach
for example, i use 30ed 9str 9dex +4 lifrep jools on helm
on top of that, you can get either masslife/mass@ or life/mana str/life etc from amulet which boosts your life a chunk
not to mention that in case you have 20@ from bb and 20@ from amulet = 40@ you can swap 8x 20/5's for 8x 3 20 20's if you want even more phys dmg/ar at same @resist

yes its realm specific and its the first thing i said no?
