From the old LFAQ:

Somewhat simplified:
Final Damage = [Base*ED+Base]*[SkillED+StatED+TCD]+[Base*ED+Base]
where Base=[Min (+ min dmg), Max (+ max dmg)]

+%ED increases your weapon's base damage, whereas +%EWD increases your *total* physical damage.
They affect different parts of the damage calculation.
+%ED is part of the first half of the above formula, which is your weapon's base damage.
+%EWD is part of the second half of the formula, which multiplies your total base damage.

Q: So are +5% EWD Mystic Orbs better than +15% ED Mystic Orbs?
A:As a rule, a low percentile bonus on a large base is more effective then a large percentile bonus on a small base.
e.g. 100 + 5000% = 5,100 5000 + 100% = 10,000.

Bottom line: It depends on your base damage. If it's low, +%ED will probably be the better choice.
Once it's high (depending on how high 'high' is), +%EWD becomes the more beneficial.


Also remember %EWD stacks additively with other %EWD (similar to %spell damage) and weapon str/dex damage bonuses, so it's much less useful than it looks if you have a lot of it already, i.e. Moon Queen.

Ok so I think I've tried to find answer to this everywhere but no one actually talks about it when I google. What is the area in twin seas for? what uber is that? Not tran, when you go up to the top, kill all the pirates that dont drop anything until you get to the area that looks like canyon of magi and then the super amazon priestess runs up that takes no damage and 1 shots you.

Who is she and what is that area/uber/whatever

How much str+str factor is needed for it to add more spell damage than putting points in energy would?

Im trying SP a throw barb now, i have question about Overkill, people say Overkill > Stampede on early game, but idk how Overkill works, sometime boss and mobs just melt to it, but sometime Overkill does no damge, for example im stuck at Hephatos Terror, Overkill quickly clear the whole map, but i cant deal decent damge to Hephatos, it takes like years to kill him so i just quit and head to Diablo, Diablo melts as usual.
IM currently using all TU6 items, Ber RW on sarced balanced axe, 2 Embryan Ring, Rare Amulet + skill, smax wolf stance, overkill, mountain king, wolfves, spirit, daedalous, the other just 1 point

I know you can (or at least could) get queen of glass from Griswald, everything else should probably drop from random monsters. Just keep on farming.
