Which one is better.
I did some quick thinking about it last night and for me currently it seems that damage is better for DD but that might not hold true if you get a perfect aspect for size bonus time will tell.
Size has a cap. Damage does not.
But cause the Aspect of Fierce Wind, the Size also increases the Damage and is multiplicative. I think achieve the cap of 100% size is a must, then go for the proc twice and enhanced damage that is only additive.

Does size increase also means more dmg for other forms pf aoe attacks like upheaval hota…?
The proc twice should be priority one since it doubles the damage. Someone needs to test out size vs damage affix.
Yeah, I’ll check later with proc twice as close to 100%. To me, the size feels more powerful than the damage affix.
I recently added Increased Whirlwind Size and I can’t even tell the difference.
Size is connected to dmg, multiplicatively
Yes size is connected to damage but by how much in comparison to dust devil damage affix? 1%? 2%? 10%? Barbarian can’t have both affix on one weapon so one of them seems to be better. Lots of people claim size.
That’s the problem, the game doesn’t tell you that. Like so many others, it doesn’t. This definitely needs to be improved so that we have transparency.
It doesn’t matter if the game says something. We as players have to test it ourselves. Because there’s tons of stuff in diablo that doesn’t works as it’s stated.
If five people test the value then come up with the same conclusion, we can infer that’s how the mechanic is intended.
But that’s not how it should be. The game should reveal so much that it’s not necessary to comment on the forums about which theory is true now.
That’s on the developers. They want to hide certain stuff from the players on purpose. You know like the actual drop chance for Uber Uniques. Aside from that, more numbers just confuse the average buyer. Last Epoch has so many formulas ingame but majority of the players ignore them.
Size matters. 7 char.
I did have perfect Tempering roll on DD size is why I asked. I kept it and to me it seems the DD’s fill up smaller areas like rooms and caves and wipe out everything fast. But maybe it is not so effective in open areas. It would be hard to measure as a lot of variables could be added.
Dust Devil only hit once. Larger size just means it’ll hit monsters faster.
