that %ed to demons is not calculated for the weapon damage.
Its global damage add... like the might aura

So what do we have here,

..so many mistakes
..such weapon
..after decades of years diablo game..neverending story

About item, nice collection weapon for PLAYER no Merc ofc,
If 40ias and something more usefull rolled than %DtD and 5%Amp
honestly exactly those ruined the yellow item.

Yellow Weapon = PvP in 99% cases
Yellow 2h weapon 100%
Amp = Banned

As was said, 400-450% Ed instead 290-300% Fools is better in here.
2 Sockets or maybe some +skills amazon skills or so would be cool,
as its hyperion spear and spears in diablo are amazon weapons.
(Charge paladin fun would be better base Ghost Spear or War Pike ofc
as those are max range adder bases tho and max dmg from spears)
Now its 0/10 Trophy and about mercenary Act2 rating its like 5/10 weapon,
when you got RW/UNIQUE specials for Act2 jabber merc.
Its been two decades of years ppl played this already.

Gl with next findings!

My rate in here is No Trophy and No Merc usage tho.
When you upload pics of Rws & Unique A2 Merc weapons you will understand it.

I don't. You 1.14 spawns who don't know the difference between the 'Cruel' and 'Fools' modifier are beyond annoying. A rare weapon can have multiple % ED modifiers on it. A 'cruel' plus 'masters' rare weapon is something that started being able to spawn on 1.10+ rare weapons and truly changed the way people looked at rare weapons.

Attack rating was seen as a useless modifier before 1.10 - especially in pvp - because of the 'eth bug' where people would socket an eth rune in their weapon and cause their opponent to have -15% of their entire defense. Not just losing 15% off their entirety, but going 15% below 0. So the 'Fools' modifier was absolutely a useless modifier before the 1.10 changes when defense became a useful stat for the first time in LoD.


I'm here all the time anytime you need more help to learn about this game.





While I'm... "technically" correct?

I'm 100% correct. It's not my fault or problem the 1.14 spawns categorize items wrong and call them incorrect names.

I'm absolutely correct.

When people call 400%+ ED weapons "cruel" or "cruels" (even more stupid) - they are referring to a weapon having the cruel + masters modifier, incorrectly forgetting the masters modifier.

Also, I said absolutely nothing about the % ED to demons. So although you absolutely are correct about this - I don't see why you're informing me of this when I didn't mention the OP's garbage tier math. Only the idiotic "needs croooool mod" comments were addressed in my reply.

I cannot stand the people who can't grasp this concept. It's one of the first things I put in my profile notes years ago, even. It's okay to not have played before 1.10, but to just not acknowledge the modifiers and what they are on items is just retarded.

Bro this is actually embarrassing lol I can also almost bet Ive been playing longer than you, but if not, thats even more ridiculous that you cant comprehend this

"PeOple ArE InCorReCtly CaLlIng It" Its called a shorthand, dumbass. No one in their right mind is going to type out the entire thing of both mods, when literally everyone else(besides you apparently) understands whats being referred to by simply saying cruel or fools in this context

Multiple different people have already tried to explain this to you, idk how its so hard to understand

Ermmmm akshually its cruels plus grandmasters!! *fixes glasses*

I like it

It's 'cruel' + 'masters', actually.

You're so embarrassing it hurts.

Whatever helps you sleep at night my guy, its not like multiple other people are telling you the same thing I am lol

the irony is that the term "cruel" wasn't a new thing created by 1.14 spawns, it goes back to 1.09 patch where cruel weps were often used with 3x jewels to get well over the base 300 ed. afterwhich fools + cruels weapons joined the meta, and were called "fools" to set them apart.

greater than 300 ed rare weps are "cruels", up to 300 ed w/ fools mod are "fools". and always have been since 1.10.
