Avenger Question

[adeyke]

There's a bug in 1.10. Non-weapon items with both ED and +max have the ED applied only to min damage. Non-weapon items with both ED and +min have the ED applied only to max damage.

So that jewel would really just give +40% enhanced max damage, +10 min damage.

The +10 would be added to your weapon damage. The +40% will be added to the max damage part of your off-weapon ED (usually, you have only one amount of off-weapon ED for both min and max damage, but the bug causes these two to be unequal).

So the +10 would increase both your physical and your elemental damage, while the +40% will increase only your physical damage.

One way to look at it would be to just look at the vengeance bonus as differently-flavoured off-weapon ED. For example, if you had +75% each vengeance and 200 strength, you'd have a total of 425% off-weapon ED, of which 200% is physical and 75% each is fire, lightning and cold. With 80 weapon damage, you'd then have:
80 base physical damage
+80 * 75% = 60 fire damage
+80 * 75% = 60 lightning damage
+80 * 75% = 60 cold damage
+80 * 200% = 160 physical damage
420 total damage
