At the moment I use Curare.
How come EWD is worthless, is it also worthless on weapons?

Thanks for the advice.

i did not say that EWD is worthless, i said "20% is worthless" (you need much more of it to make it count -

has 200% for example . now that amount would make a difference for most weapon damage builds, compared to having just 20% by wasting 4 item slots instead of socketing something more usefull ) . you would gain more benefits by socketing other things
