Added Fire Damage

I really wish this skill would effect spells like added cold and lightning do. I see no reason for it not too.

would Added Fire Damage, Chernobog's Pillar, Hrimsorrow Goathide gloves, Lightening Strike, Infernal Blow when used in whatever combination make it 100% elemental damage?

even if the total convert percentage is above 100%, it'll be 100%. then skills get higher priority than equip based converting, reducing gear based converts proportionally.

Nope, the conversions are done sequentially. I don't know how it determines the order but it converts in the fashion:

effect 1, say Lightning strike, converts 50% of physical damage
then effect 2, say hrimsorrow, converts 25% of the remaining physical damage, so only 12.5% of the original damage

A third effect, say Chernobog's pillar converts 25% of the remaining 37.5%=9.375% of the original damage

The remaining 28.125% of damage will still be physical damage. Of course the order the system applies conversions will determine which element you are dealing the most damage in(and I don't know the specific order used).




And then after all conversions are applied Hatred and Added fire damage are calculated off that remaining 28.125(so they will actually add less then 1/3 of the damage they would have added if the base attack had done 100% physical damage).

In general it's a better idea to use added fire damage support & hatred Aura if you aren't converting any of your physical damage.

This is flat-out wrong. Conversions always applies to the Base Damage, and are done at the same time. It's really easy to see if you'd actually used some high-Conversion builds. *shrug*

I have to agree partially with bilun based off the quote you linked, viper.

Conversion on the skill is always applied at full value. Other conversion from gear, etc is scaled to fit the remaining space. So in your example, lightning arrow still converts 50% to lighting, the other two scale down evenly to fill the remaining 50% (so roughly 17% and 33%)

The skill always converts from the base damage, but the items convert from the physical left from the skill conversion.


It doesnt say if a second item would only convert from the 33% physical space, or 50% from after skill conversion though.

gotcha, sorry for misinterpretation. Makes sense. skills always get their face value of conversion, but items may be rescaled to convert less of a percentage as to be capped at 100% total conversion.
