protector's stone bug, I just know ED doesnt work on armor.

+30-50% Enhanced Damage

According to bnet and some asia forum,

this ED is confirm no use if you put this jewel into armor.

This will make this jewel only has min - max damage and - % physical resistance.

10 min damage
30 max damage
-5-10 physical resistance...


To make ED work, you need put it into weapon...which is impossible. Still this jewel is better than 40 ED , 15 ias. or very similar performance.


I didnt pay much attention to this until read it somewhere. Maybe all rotw player already know this...

there is test report , but it is in asia , if anyone interest, I can share it. You might need use translator..

Those new jewels are broken af. They are so buggy....

This jewel still very strong, like

Phase Blade user, the ED actually not that important.

Anyway, this makes this jewel only roll
5-10 physical resistance for fight ability.

The other side you can choose is MF.
BEST IS -10 physical resistance X exp, 35 MF.

ED is dont care.

if socket in armor

50 ED -7 physical is lose to
30 ED -8 physical .

And according to market, -8 is cheaper...

anyway , I am not Stone user nor rotw player. Just feel interesting people willing to pay more to buy a weaker one...

if you equip it in

Windforce, will it stronger compare to use Faith and equip it in

Helm?

Good old ED + min/max damage bug, but applies also on new stuff. TLDR is "if it's socketed in weapon, all fine, else the socketed item's ED is overwritten by maxD and minD"

Thinking back now I seem to remember something about ED jewels back on old D2.

Now with D2R I had gotten for cheap HOZ & Andys that had ED jewels in them. The one and only Protector Jewel I got was 50% ED. Reading this I am a little bummed. It looks like (please correct me if I am wrong) the ED jewels in Andys & HOZ need to get replaced, and the Protector will do me no good in COA.

If someone wants to read more about the bug, @War The Wise explained it in the following post:

With

Protector's Stone it's much more likely that people are affected so maybe blizzard will finally fix it.

Just armor or helms too? Seems like this would answer the "should I put this in my barb

Helm instead of

Cham" question if it's bugged there too

Damn I might have to try it. I run Faith with

Giant Skull but could switch to A1 merc with Faith and use my socketed

Windforce/Gface I have stashed away. The possibilities!

That's exactly what I'm doing. Act1 merc with Faith and Delirium. WF with protector jewel for me. Is it maximizing dmg? No. Is it a shit-ton of fun? 100%.

I have a plethora of characters that clear faster than her, but she somehow is still more fun than most. Running around sniping stuff is just a blast lol
