They should also be rather important to other characters with all these obscenely powerful runewords. However I haven't been able to find a description of how these superior mods are generated. I also have problems with understanding some of the defense calculations.
For example, I found a crown online with 50 defense, 10% ED. So with my assumption of what the defense formula is ( INT( Base Defese * (100 + ED)/100) ), the base defense of this item should be 46. But lo!
The AS and diabloii.net both display crowns as having 25-45 defense. They could still be right, however, and it is only my lack of knowledge about superior items which causes me to come to these conclusions.
Perhaps superior items, when generated, get an extra defense point?
Any armour that has enhanced defense on the item itself (not sockets) has a base defense equal to the maximum possible base defense + 1. The only exceptions to this are items that were upgraded with the cube recipes. There's a bug with those, so they don't get the max + 1 (or the ethereal defense bonus).
Quote:Also, what are all the mods that spawn on these items, or is there a site that can help answer my questions?

Superior weapons can have:
+1-3 AR
+5-15% enhanced damage
+10-15% durability
any combination of two of the above
Superior armour can have:
