So I‘m pretty new to D2r, played it back then on a friends brothers pc in coop but never really „serious“.
so here I am, playing a bowazon, just finished act 2 (******g duriel wanted to snack me up like he did in beta, but i was prepared this time). Well some time into act 3, I started gambling a circlet at lvl 25 (just for the looks, I don‘t like the look of the early helms.)
And I‘ve got a circlet (a blue one) with 5% manaleech and something like 2-109 lightning damage. My dmg at this point was like 12-38 dmg with a very fast unique bow.
Is this usual at lvl 25? it seems like a bug to me because the game was already pretty easy with my 12-38 dmg, now its just a walk in the park.
normal diff is easy for every class, you will begin to ahve troubles in nm
ok cool.
But what about the item? is this dmg normal on a lvl 25 helm? it seems a bit off as I only find charms with 1-6 lightning dmg etc.
Weapons are also still in the 10-40 base-dmg range.
The damage is nothing. It’s good for normal but it won’t last you long. I don’t think it’ll even be good by the end of normal unless you’re playing alone.
Please, write a name of your item. Magic item (blue) suffixes are recognizable by name. Then we can check if it is a bug or not. Also, write a level of character gambled that circlet.
statischer reif der fledermaus
(static circlet of the bat?)
gambled on lvl 25, needs lvl 18 to equip.
1-104 lightning damage
4% mana leech per hit
No bug here.
Static prefix gives 1-49 to 1-120 (varies) dmg. And can be found in gamble starting at 20 lvl (however, at lvl 20 you have much lower chance to get it).
Fun fact, that it is the least powerful lightning damage prefix and the only one available on circlets.
You are lucky!

ooh, nice 
I was confused because it had like triple the damage that I was doing until then.
Thank you very much for clearing this up!
