I last played in 2004 or so, I can’t remember if ED jewels work in chest armor. I put a 30% ED jewel in my IK chest (full set) and my WW damage went from 4004 - 4100… top end… I’m not great at math, but that isn’t 30%. The jewel is 30% ED, 6 dex. Whats going on here? Should I take it out with Hell and just put a ptopaz in? Or is it working but not displaying properly?
It worked, but I think it was just lower like 1/2 of the original ED or something like that

Here its explained further
D2 adds up all ED from your gear, strength, skills and buffs and then uses that as an damage multiplier.
If you already have a lot of ED from other sources a 30ED jewel does not make much difference.
I assume thats why you see such a small increase.

Ok, thanks. as far as I can tell, it increased my damage by like 2-3%, which is not worth it. Guess its getting pulled out in favor of a ptopaz.
