Physical Damage Conversions
|
Hello Everybody!
First of all, my math is not that great, but I tried to make sense of it before posting, without success. I'm using facebreaker, so physical damage is what I want to convert. Avatar of Fire converts 50% of my physical damage into fire. Chernobog's Pillar Shield converts another 25% physical damage into fire. This far there are no confusion, I convert 75% of my physical damage into fire. Physical to Lightning gem converts 50% of my physical damage into lightning damage, 50% of my lightning damage converts into fire because of Avatar of Fire. Which means I get 25% physical damage converted into fire. If I am not wrong, then this should give me an overall conversion of 100% physical damage into fire Damage. Without the Physical to Lightning gem I should lose a conversion of 25% physical damage, which gets lost in outer space. When I link it though, it only gives me a very small amount of damage. My question is why? Thank you //Myz |

You're overthinking it. I assume you're using Infernal Blow? That skill converts 50% physical to fire. Combined with Avatar of Fire, that'd be 100% converted. The shield conversion is redundant. The Physical to Lightning is not helping you and taking up a gem slot.

" Was going to edit and state that I am not using Infernal Blow, I currently have 75% physical converted to fire, which makes me lose 25% of all my physical damage, that's why I would want clarification on the physical to lightning gem conversion. |

" That's because all non-fire damage you deal is lost when you take Avatar. Physical to lightning converts the rest of your physical damage to lightning and adds some more on top of it, but avatar halves the lightning part.

" Conversion does not apply to other Conversion values, it applies to Damage. 100 Physical Damage 50+25% Phys to Fire 25% Phys to Lightning 50+25 = 75% to Fire: 100 * 0.75 = 75 Fire Damage 25% to Lightning: 100 * 0.25 = 25 Lightning Damage 100 - 75 - 25 = 0 Physical Damage 50% Lightning to Fire: 25 * 0.5 = 12.5 Fire 25 - 12.5 = 12.5 Lightning 75 + 12.5 = 87.5 Fire Damage 12.5 * 0 = 0 Lightning Damage Phys-to-Light also grants a bit of Lightning Damage based on Physical. Let's say 25%: 100 * 0.25 = 25 Lightning Damage 25 * 0.5 = 12.5 Fire Damage 87.5 + 12.5 = 100 Fire Damage Roughly the same as getting 100% Phys to Fire :P Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Apr 24, 2015, 2:15:20 PM
