Shockwave not fully converting to elemental damage?
|
Noticed this behavior while mapping and would very much like clarification as to whether this is intended or not.
I have Shockwave linked with Smite (which has 50% phys-lightning conversion built into it) and Physical-to-Lightning support gems (which provides another 50%). Smite's physical damage is 100% converted to lightning normally. However, I noticed while running phys-reflect maps that triggered Shockwaves still deal some physical damage (not sure if it's 50% converted to lightning or 0%). The Shockwave gem does not specify that shockwaves deal physical damage, so I assume elemental conversion should be possible. Is this skill interaction working as intended? The way that I read the Shockwave gem, it should deal ~200% of the skill's attack damage, but I assumed this means attack damage after other support gems are factored in - for example, I also have Ancestral Call linked to this setup, and its physical damage is fully converted to lightning as far as I'm aware.

" Thanks for your report, Shockwave will deal Physical damage based on the Weapon damage, not the skill which triggers it. In your case, 50% of that Physical damage is converted to Lightning due to the support gem. The conversion from Smite only applies to Smite and not the Shockwave. I hope this clarifies. | |

Thank you for the clarification, I understand how it works now.
