For some skills that double-dip on elemental damage modifiers (like

Holy Shock), I'd go with +damage too.

Hello,

A few questions:
- I heard the

Protector's Stone was bugged as the + ED% only applied when socketed in a weapon. Is this patched?
- Also, for elemental jewels, which stat to prioritize between the + elemental dmg and the - elemental res?

Not patched , and for paladin, bar this jewel is 0 performance, only defense/

Fade use.
There is another way, you use Enhance Damage circle, it will remove bug. (not sure about warlock but amazon can use physical jewel, paladin and bar cannot)
Druid, not much player, not very sure about it but I guess physical jewel is also no use(0 performance ) .

Previous post probably enough for second question, for some cases, if your -res exceed -100, it will remove the extra part.
i.e. Sorc , griffon 20, -10 jewel , + 8 5x5 facet, Infinity 70,

Crescent Moon -35. = 175 , cow res 50 , max -100, only -150 works , extra 25 is waste.

The -10 physical res is still useful for Smiter no?

What about fire sorc for Andy runs, still -res >> +dmg ? (I have a fire sunder too)

Andariel has -50 fire res, so it doesn't really matter either way. If you really want to know, I guess for 2 fire jews which have same number of -res or + dam, +dam wins a bit.

I wonder if the -res isn't really important for the cold sorc too.

My cold sorc can cruise through most things that aren't cold immune. She has a cold sunder charm, but since

Cold Mastery has so little effect against broken immunities (face value is around -180% but that goes down to -36% against immunes), she does struggle against cold immunes with loads of hp (particularly high-level heralds). I think she would be a lot stronger with a source of -resists that isn't reduced vs broken immunities - which I think applies to the jewel?
