how good must a rare eth cruel 400 + ed or fools 250-300 ed with max dmg / ar per lvl be to out perform edc on a zeal paladin?

you wont be able to account for attack rating and -target defense but you can compare dmg

20x3/20/20 weapon can beat edc .Anything less then this value is pointless

Would an example of this be like eth fools 2 os erep?

yea but dont need be that high

i got erep ettin 20-292 4 max fools mode.34 stat diadem and 71 stat ring
this is enoupg to ddeal whit edc.If edc user user same value diadem and scs.
Erep 2 sock eth fools ,the cheapest one is i think arround 30 scs.T
there is erep 2 sok whit low ed but there are uselless.

But there is one dude that owns 45 stat+9 min diadem which he run EDC whit phoenix.He is harder to beat up.But that diadem is the best one in d2r and is worth about 100x3-20-20

basically save my fg and just use edc haha i cant afford any of these godlies

yes
Cuz even if you have strong fools(erep 1 sock eth ,similar to my ettin) ,you still need to pair it whit decent stat ring and diadem.

tyvm for helping me understand this better

edc on fort vs opponent fort is equal to 40/300 fools 4max zerker erep. (this would be like 800k fg)
edc on phoenix vs opponent phoenix is equal to 40/270 fools zerker erep.
The data looks weird because edc uses angelics and has -33def (calculated as -16.5def in pvp).

I know this because i built a zeal vs zeal simulator.
that does 2million runs in 50seconds
The sim uses:
-monte carlo
-park miller 31bit LCG (RNG)
-antithetic

In short, edc makes 99.9% of people that spent money on d2r retarded.
The people who benefit from edc are 1) noobs that dont want to spend any money and 2) high end weapon sellers (so they can perpetually frustrate rich player and have them spend more money)

*EDC is banned in Korean zpk and Just Melee
