What's the deal with MaxDmg on Jewels?

[BildBenny]

I stuck a Jewel with +5 to Maximum damage in a Circlet, and guess what? My damage is lower on the stats screen!!? Is this just a display thing, or what?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.Does the circlet have ed% on it as well?

Yes, I believe it had, not 100% certain, though. The Jewel had 8% EDmg and +5 to MaxDmg. Why? Is that the reason why it all sort of 'backfires'?

Welcome to Diablo2LoD patch 1.10 and later... ed/max jewels have been bugged in helm/armor/shield for quite a while now.

Heheh... Ok, I get the point. =)
So, it's not a display-bug, then? Basically, in that case I have to choose between ED% and +X MaxDmg? Not both?

Just get %ED. %ED with IAS or some other desirable mod are still great though.
