hey WDs: Manajuma's Knife VS Black weapons (rares, Echoing or butchers)

I understand that Manajuma's can roll better with crit, LS and a socket compared Echoing who cant have all 3 or butchers which is capped at 50 ish crit damage and slow attackspeed

is that enough to offset that manajuma is elemental? meaning it gets like only 1/3 benefit from Zuni's boots, Tal's and SoJ?

if you ask me its pretty stupid that a poison weapon gets less benefit from +% poison (or other elements) damage than a black weapon

a manajuma's with the same stats as my butcher's sickle gives me less 20% dps because I use 3 +elemental items... how is that even working as intended?

I understand that monks who use Inna's belt are in teh same situation as us

for people that dont know what im talking about

So Is Metroid's gun a part of his armor or is he a cyborg like Data from Star Wars?

the chill from cold damage works for black weapons only and on skills that have no specific element like the barb's cleave and no Spirit barrage / soul harvest converts the damage as a "physical" element no matter what, so chill effect will never proc on it like how rain of toads changes everything to poison

Wait so physical doesn't count.. so lame and unfair if anything physical should be what procs it.

if they did that Sprint like the wind from barbs would be even more OP with that chill effect

wait so rain of toads will never get a chill effect? I know fear and life steal work on it but what else doesn't work

if its stuff like % chance to chill it will.... if its just from +cold damage it wont
