Best jewels 4 bvb???

[Tiidus]

Hey all,

Just wondered what I should socket my items with??? at the moment im thinking either ed or ar jewels?

I havnt finished my barb yet so I cant give exact stats for what i need but I tihnk this is what the stats should look like:

AR: 27-29k
Defense: 28-30k
Life 4.5-5k
Dmg * - 6k

40 ed/9 dex

40 ed/9 dex

Just out of interest....why dex?

[NewForumBloke]

Cuts down on dex for blocking, so those stats can be invested into vita.

out of interest y wud u pick ed over ar? and wouldnt ed/max be better??

[Barloc]

ed/max is bugged. works properly in weapons only.
I also think ed/str could be good too, depending on what you need at time of assembly since points in dex could also mean you'll just need to put more points in str (sacred-etc)

there are rare jewels that are ed/str/dex- dunno if legit or not tho for sure

[Tiidus]

ah ok thanks. But y ed over ar?

personally, my BvB uses the following:

Helm: +25 Max Damage (will replace with a 30 maxer when/if i find one i can afford)
Shield: 40ed/-15% requirements (if i can ever get the theoretical +18Max/+9Min/-15% reqs jool, i'll replace it).

i've seen all manner of arguments between BvB's about "which is best" with no really conclusive answer.
