I thought the bug didn't apply if the base item had ED on it already :(
Yes, i've seen that as well multiple times, but without any source leading to any actual testing.
Since the release of ROTW, 2 important things have been confirmed:
- ED present on the target item before the socketing isn't affected by the bug.
- ED present on the target item before the socketing doesn't prevent the ED on the jewel from being affected by the bug.
