dissapointed with max jewls-lld

[fredsta54]

long story short i just found a gothic plate socketed it and put 2X 15 max jewls inm, with 2 spare sockets for 2x more. currently wearing myth to bo. he is a lvl 30 barb leap attack who i am aiming for max dmg. with +30 from my armour my max dmg is actually less by 25 pnts on both wepns i use. it will be higher iwth 2x more max jewls in, but it seems like it wont be better than myth :(

i will still put in 2x more jewls for +60 max dmg

This is likely because of the extreme amount of ED gained for each level of leap attack. Though rare, this seems like one of those cases where myth may actually be a viable choice..

No, it actually works the other way around.

Since you should already have such a high ed% from leap and mastery, you want as much +max damage to be multiplied by this percent.

I don't know why myth is giving you more damage than max armor. Maybe you build your character incorrectly.

Myth adds 10% ED for mastery, and another 60% ED for leap attack, which amounts to 70% ED. When using high damage weaponry, this may lead to a very nice increase in the amount of damage. However, when you use +60 to max armor, the damage increase will outshine Myth. However, if you're using say a 300 max dam weapon, Myth adds 210 on top of that. With 30 to max and say 700% ED from skills, you also add 210. No bad build, simple math.

Try this:

Wear no armor, and look at the damage. Then, equip the +30 tomax. See the difference? You'll gain that amount again when you equip another +30 to max. Myth is the cheapskate choice ;)

Edit: One could consider Peace. The added amount of Critical Strike will also increase total damage output. I'm curious as to how you placed your skill points. How did you place your skill points?

well hes finished now- lvl 30 Mashed_Monster

and yes i use myth to bo and then switch to now 60 max gothic and its better but not by lots.

15 max pheasant crown
60 max armour/myth to bo
2X spirit on switch
deaths
sanders boots
bloodfist
mahim oak/angelic ammy
angelic ring
crap rare ring

honor knout, rhyme, and 15% string for melee

from charms- 25 max dmg, 12 r/w, 10 fhr and the rest is resists/life

-Zangeif-and i didnt build my character incorrectly, myth was more dmg thnan +30 max, its now +60 max and the gotthic owns it

as for my skills

1 polearm mastery
1 inc speed and preq
1 nat resist and preq
leap 12
leap attack 9
4 bo
1 bc

with spirits i have 12 bo then i switch myth to 60 max. peace wouldnt help at all. my wepn is 260ed 4 critical so the cs is fnie plus +2 from pcrown and bc

my dmg with hop is 1.2k-3k listed. 6 critical strike + 3 polearm mastery its over 50% at least to do double dmg.

in stash i have rhyme grim sheld and honor knoiut for max block. an eth versioan on insdight and honor await.

tyu for your advidce barry!

Why didnt you max your mastery and bo? Those are the 2 most important skills to max as a lld barb, and i think its been stated in the past as being the only 2 skills a barb, no matter the type (cept warcry/bow barbs/etc that dont use wep or wep on mastery), should ALWAYS max.

Also, were you hell rushed? You dont look like you have very many skill pts to use.

not for leap attack as leap > mastery 10% as opposed to 5% and the crit% is low. ar is fine. I am not ww. he is in normal to stay so i can c the games. lvl 30 gl maxing bo and mastery ;)
