Ed max damage jewel bug

[Felix-1285]

Just want to make a post about this well known and long running bug. If you put an enhanced damage/ Maximum Damage jewel in any thing but a weapon, the Maximum Damage doesn’t work

I knew this bug, I forgot about it, buying a very expensive uber ancients physical jewel, which I gladly put in my arreats. The add 10-30 damage doesn’t work.

That you introduce new unique jewels, and then don’t fix this bug is really annoying. I hardly use my barb now knowing he is running around with a huge waste of effort.

The add 10-30 damage doesn’t work.

Correction: the Enhanced Damage Percentage doesn’t work WHEN the jewel gets placed in a helm, armor or shield. It works perfectly fine when placed in a weapon.

Absolutely incorrect, but expected from drdorkster

Ed/damage jewel bug

Here’s a bug that’s as old as Diablo 2 and still needs to be fixed and applies directly to the new Protectors Stone Jewel. Copy/Paste What is the ed/dmg bug? The “enhanced damage(ED)/+minimum(min) or +maximum(max) damage(dmg) bug” (ed/dmg bug) is a bug, where the modifiers on a jewel will not work properly, reducing its efficiency, when socketed in any non-weapon slot. It can cause the x%ED modifier to work in an inproper manner, or not at all. How does it work, and how can I best avoid it? …

This is what is actualy going on with it. This guy wrote it up well.

Still incorrect. The enhanced damage dosent work in anything but a weapon. ONLY the flat damage works. Exact oposite
