Question about my wierd Voidforge???

Ok so gain 300? of Physical Damage as element damage But Deal no non-element damage. So if I use this with a character who does 100 phys dam. would it end up doing 300 elemental dam? If not what kind character do I use this with? and is it worth a crap I feel like it is ethier genius or total suck.

Thanks

Plenty of builds can utilize this.
Basicly the voidforge deals a certain amount of physical damage and then gain 300% extra random ele damage

So it deals 100 phys damage and -> 300 lightning/cold/fire

However, the item says that it canot deal non-elemental damage, so all chaos damage and phys damage is removed, leaving only 300 lightning/cold/fire.


So you need to buff your physical damage as much as possible (but not physical damage taken like pride, because it doesnt work).

Furthermore you can convert some of the damage, to deal a steady number of elemental damage.

Let's say, that you have 40% cold conversion from passive tree and 25% cold conversion gloves. This converts 65% of your physical damage after adding extra damage.

So if you deal 100 phys damage -> 300 lightning/cold/fire + 65 cold damage.

However converting damage with voidforge is not as effective as stacking loads of physical damage, attack speed and crit multi, and is mostly usefull if you want to secure cold explosions while clearing.

Huh? I thought you want to convert 100% phys to elemental damage since Any physical damage that is not converted will go to waste.

that's true, but converting damage with voidforge only grants 1/3 of the damage it would otherwise. Same deal with % extra elemental damage.
This is caused by the relatively low voidforge damage (It is only high due to the already 300% extra ele damage)
