WHY is Avatar of Fire "OP"?
" You forgot dischargers, fire witches, burn witches, fire storm templars, molten shield templars and exploding minions bro. |

Avatar of Fire seems terrible! How can any character sustain taking 4 times the normal amount of cold damage? It seems like you need a combination of unique items to make it work, you know, get another way to mitigate cold damage, like block or evasion. And you need dreamfrags, and you dont benefit from the cold resist on them.
My question is that if you cant resist cold, does that mean that you have negative cold resist in higher difficulty, or just that your cold resist is 0. I can not imagine running through merciless taking more than 6 times the cold damage that i am supposed to. |

" You didnt need to dig up the necro thread |

" That was the old avatar of fire, which existed before the resist penalties on higher difficulties (look at the dates of the posts before you) The new version was leaked today - and said 50% physical damage converted to fire, 50% lighning converted to fire, 50% of cold converted to fire; can't deal non fire damage EDIT: but rememnber, stuff can still change untill release, so don't take this new version as granted Proud 5th duelist in the Jul 1 2012 Ladder Race and in the Nov 3 2012 Solo Turbo Race :D And even prouder 4th Templar in the Nov 10 Four-hour Party Hardcore Race :P Current OB success: top 20 Ranger in 105 Minute Turbo Solo (S4E9) Last edited by Sony_Black#0112 on Oct 16, 2013, 6:31:26 AM

Im not sure about the new avatar of fire. It seems like burning discharge got a massive buff, and few other builds can really take advantage of it.

" Possible 100% physical conversion to fire (with blackgleam or using infernal blow) is huge if you consider the templar WED nodes and the lava lash node + WED support gem Proud 5th duelist in the Jul 1 2012 Ladder Race and in the Nov 3 2012 Solo Turbo Race :D

" No comment on the necro, but are u sure blackgream + AoF would be 100% phys to fire, and not 50% of 50%? (being 75% then) Because life is short, you shall make rains of all sort - Amarena, the Iron Man

" Fire damage can be resisted. Physical damage cant. Fire damage cant leech (except of special support gem). Physical damage can leech via item properties. I see no reason, why fire damage would be better, all those crappy elemental passives and burn usually even dont cover damage loss from resistances! You need to make "one big hit" to make burn work well, but that better be performed with spells or abilities like Exposive Arrow. IGN: MortalKombat
Molten Strike build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1346504 There is no knowledge That is not power |
|
" It would be really strange if AoF works different from all other sources of Conversion. 50% + 50% = 100% Converted. |
|
" It isn't that easy. Physical damage is reduced by armour by fixed value but elemental is reduced by X per cent reduction. Elemental damage always do some damage but physical can be reduced to ZERO. That is why fast attacking with multistrike, mele splash + similar things is better for ele builds. |
