Full conversion fire hit really?
" When you spend 8-12 hours a day staring at code just to make sure things do the things they say they do without breaking the rest of the game, it leaves very little brainspace for thinking "hey, wait, what if I combined this with some other mechanic that does not intuitively match the theme of my skill?

" technically 4x the damage if you use a physical weapon and 100% convert it as well |
|
" Someone did math on that? Is that flurry replacement for uber kills I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty, and witty and gay, And I pity Any girl who isn’t me today! | |
" There is my problem with all this, people think conversion is free! you need to pay your conversion with shit items that give no damage. you will lose out on 2-3 endgame items that give 20% more damage and EE that is 40% and jewels that are 5-10% to get that theoretical 3xdamage(2.8x damage actually) and you didnt convert your phys weapon to lighning yet. And you will lose out on ailments which are 10%more each. So yeah i get the basic idea that my 2 element scaling goes to 220% damage while full conversion would go to 280% so i lose but yeah there is no way with current PoB to see it. |

" it wouldn't be 4x, your weapon isn't coming remotely close to deal the base damages e-hit adds. AoF converting half of phys to fire will help a bit, but with only 100% damage effectiveness and extremely high base damage, there's not that much good in worrying about weapon or global sources of added damage. Just worry about crit, attack speed, penetration, and inc fire/ele damage and let the gem provide all the base damage. Last edited by Shppy#6163 on May 31, 2018, 11:24:29 PM

" wouldn't be 4x? well it absolutely could be, depending on your weapon of course |
|
" it absolutely couldn't be, no physical weapon has enough damage to match those flat values per hit, you'd need a weapon that deals like 800 physical damage per hit. |
|
" Remember that physical damage is easy to convert to elemental at over 100% efficiency though, through Herald of Ash, Hatred, Shaper mods, and such. Last edited by Abdiel_Kavash#5296 on May 31, 2018, 11:49:10 PM

" There are also weapons that do it for you,but I guess converting 0 to 0 would not count. I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,

" sure there are. not in league, but yes those weapons do exist which basically match the damage of elemental hits, for each element. so lets say it isn't precisely 1x more damage, but still converting physical to fire you could get 0.7-0.8 pretty easily. either way its still relevant. you also have to use a weapon so you might as well get as much base damage as possible. it definitely isn't insignificant. sure you can just scale and rely solely off elemental hit, because it clearly has the highest base damage in the goddamn game on an ATTACK, which is absurd in and of itself. im not denying any of this. but just like any attack, the better the weapon the better the damage. |
