1. No one does

2. Because first one gives you "Enhance damage" and second one gives you "Enhance weapon damage" and there are calculating in a different way when you damage an enemy

ED increases the base damage of the weapon, which is the base for everything.

EWD however is different in the calculation.

Just a quick example:
You do 100 damage per weapon Swing, with a weapon with 0% ED.
You add 100% ED and your damage raises to 200.
If you were to add 100% EWD it would also raise to 200.

But what if you had already 100% EWD calculated in the 100 base damage per swing?
That would mean that 100% ED increase your base damage to 200.
But if you would get another 100% EWD, your damage would only increase to 150. (0% ED and 200% EWD = 50 basedamage * 3=150 damage)

That's why ED is a lot more important. You can easily get EWD from skills, but the base damage of the weapon can only be increased by ED, and max/min damage added to the weapon.

Hey, do Items just despawn in town after a while?
Was just muling a whole bunch of sutff and just as I was about to finish, I noticed all my shrines are gone (and no noone else joined my game, checked the message log)

yes. I think its 8 minutes on any idle map iirc. May depend on the quality of the items as well.

hmm, meh good to know.
Thanks

google is powerful, hopefully this picture answers your question. I believe shrines fall in the first category for 10 min

wow, a lot has happened since the last time I was here. I'm coming back for another spin at melee sin since '15. last time I played melee sorc but I gave up due to my screen gave up after so many years.

I'm only playing single player offline now and is there a offline sigma installer somewhere or somebody had it?

thanks.

Hello again,
I am currently playing a lightning/cold sorc, main damage spell is abyss. All 3 passives maxed, 5pt to ice elementals, 1 witch blood, 1 cookies, 20pt familiar, preq and arcane tree 1 pointers, the rest abyss. My question would be: is it worth to max abyss for more damage or is it a one point wonder skill? Also, is my build even good or should i put my points elsewhere? Im lvl 110.
Thanks in advance.

and which is the third passive you maxed besides warp armor and snow queen ? have you counted Nova Charge as a passive , or ?

Yeah, whoops.
