Hello...no poll this time smile.gif

Is it me being a dumb ass or I feel that the computaion for weapon damge for D3 is utterly confusing. For eg, say

Weapon: 100 dps
Range from 50-150.
+min 20
+max 20
+50-150 Holy Damage
+ 33% damage

Now normally, we just see the dps and we take the figure. Is DPS accurate, be all end all? I guess the DPS is the average from the weapon damage range ie 50-150.
However, what confuse me is the + affixes. I mean from the eg above +20 min or plus 20 max will it push the range to 70-170? Or it is already included in the stats of 50-150?
Also, +50-150 Holy damage...does it mean it will give additional damage, say making total range of 100-300 (being physical damge 50-150 plus 50+150).
Lastly, +33% damage, is it 33% extra damage after adding all damage, or the extra 33% damage is built in the weapon already. Eg you get extra 33% from the 100-300 or actually the 33% is included in the 50-150 damage?

I am confused....any sifu can help?

In before just take the DPS and forget about the rest!!

Those number you pulled out of thin air one or they're based on real "virtual" rclxub.gif D3 items.

I belip weapon DPS number already take into account all it's positive affixes. So the +33% dmg, +50-150 Holy whatever, +min and +max all accounted in the DPS already together with the weapon attack speed (include +IAS).
Doesn't take into account +stat (e.g. Str, Dex, Int) coz those are class specific.
So normally those stats are redundant, just DPS is enough
