Hi,

Was wondering what's better?

ED or Max dmg jewel? Where can I find a guide or further info and comparison on this?

For example, I already hit fast enough. My AR is already good enough. I want something to add the most damage.

I've seen 40ED/15 max, is this the best jewel to pump my dmg?

so the +9 str is better than +15 max dmg?

How's so?

IIRC, ED/MaxDmg jewels are bugged in all socketable items excluding weapons. Not sure how this works, someone else could explain it.

with a max / ed jewel, the ed affects your min dmg
with a min / ed jewel, the ed affect your max dmg
with a min / max / ed jewel, the ed has no effect

I'd have to say 40 ed / 9 str is the correct answer

Are you saying, the Max/ed (40/+15) jewel is the weakest?

Don't triple post... and the question isn't nearly as simple as you seem to think becuase it depends on your gear, stats, skill placement, weapon, party bonuses, etc.

The damage formula is so easy a caveman could do it, so just go to the Strategy Compendium (http://strategy.diabloii.net/news.php?id=551)and answer your own question for whatever particular scenario you had in mind. It comes down to figuring your weapon damage, which includes +min/max damage from charms/etc., then applying your total off-weapon %ed.

The only thing that formula can't explain has already been mentioned: ed/max jewels being bugged in anything but a weapon. Just don't bother with these.
