Is there any lightning degen in the game?

I have a build that converts 100% of lightning damage taken from hits to fire and I was wondering if that meant it was safe to completely ignore lightning resistance.

Thank you :)

Yes there are some sources such as Shaper´s beam (beam is elemental dot consists of three elements) or Shock and Horror (lightning beam) maybe others I can´t think right now.

First of all, Degen =/= Hit. So even if there was Lightning degen (which there is none Edit: Apparantly there are like 2-3 sources of Lightning-DoT), it wouldn't be converted by that stat, because as allready mentioned, it is no hit.

Second: Yes. If you convert 100% of one damage type into another, you can theoretically ignore the first damage type completely.

Hey buddy, I'm well aware of how the stat works which is why the thread title is "Is there any lightning degen in the game" and not a question about the mechanics.

Appreciate ya, guess I'll have to be careful if I do skip lightning.
