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?

Can be used to make Runewords:
afaik not patched (same bug as other jewels eg Ruby jewel of carnage)
except for the cold sorc , -res >> +dmg

HC RotW
For some skills that double-dip on elemental damage modifiers (like Holy Shock), I'd go with +damage too.
Not patched , and for paladin, bar this jewel is 0 performance, only defense/ Fade use.Lyrix wrote: 5 hours agoHello,

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?
smiter use cb, nothing to do with -res
it is only work for Zeal , sacrify and those two attack....
if you have full gear, you will find it kill hard monster 60-80% hp in 1 hit. Add jewel makes it something like 65%-90% hp which makes jewel become useless upgrade. It is better to use Um or some other things than this. Just very bad . Even blue jewel with FHR only can beat this. or 10AR 30 FR cheap jewel.
The only good part is it have Fade. But no one will trigger it before boss fight. So it is just bad, attack performance is 0. And no one will use Zeal build to fight boss. Smiter easy kill , why you build perfect Zeal and have a hard time vs boss?
Amazon can make use of it. It is completely different for amazon. Very good very useful.

Sundered mob res is 95%. Lets assume -45% enemy res from Cold Mastery and facets, extra 10% will boost your damage from 50% to 60%. This is an x1.2 increase, but it's only against a subset of mobs. +10% Cold damage will give you x1.07-x1.08 against everything.djc345 wrote: 2 hours agoMy cold sorc can cruise through most things that aren't cold immune.

On Colossal Jewels they aren't even exclusive, worst case you're choosing between -5/+10 and -10/+5. The difference will be negligible. This is more of a question when choosing a renewed sunder charm.
I am on smiter, and I use CoA. I was looking at Maxroll build, they have the Ancient Jewel with -10 physical res in it + 1 Ber. So you are saying that build is BS and better use 2x Ber?leox wrote: 2 hours agosmiter use cb, nothing to do with -res

2 x Ber , you get more physical resistance, new jewel, you get Fade.Lyrix wrote: 1 hour agoI am on smiter, and I use CoA.

If Fade is on, it is better, if not, 2 Ber win.
If you want to see that -10 phy resistance effect. Get a similar Helm , equip it, Smite once. And swap into another with new jewel , Smite once.
Compare the difference.
Or use blind test, your friend use one equipment dont let know which one. Smite once take picture. then swap to another set, Smite once, take picture.
You have to find which picture use new jewel.
You have to test it to make sure is that really work on you. The example I mention earlier, without jewel, 1 hit 60%-80% hp kill, with new jewel, 80-95% hp kill. Then in this case, performance is exact same. Monster get kill in 2 hit.
2 Ber get you really feel defense ++. But new jewel without Fade, I am not sure if that can make you feel you kill faster? But if you can guarantee you get Fade on in early part of fight, it is surely win.
When I play smiter , I build it in full defense and some cb. When I see boss. I go in and Smite, easy kill. cb higher or lower, it is okay.

I can't really test it out the way you described, because I only play smiter on ubers/ancient ubers. It will not just be 2x hits.leox wrote: 56 minutes ago2 x Ber , you get more physical resistance, new jewel, you get Fade.Lyrix wrote: 1 hour agoI am on smiter, and I use CoA.

I already have Last Wish, I am not worried about Fade. I am talking about in theory, the - physical 10% res, is it worth it vs a second Ber in the CoA.
