Help with convert damage

Hi
previously sorry for my engl
How working convert damage? For example we playing minion build. Minions deal physical damage. If we use Triad Grip with full green socket (for example) we start to doing FULL converted cold damage, right? And when my minion hit a monster this works like:
a) monster takes hit > game register value from PHYSICAL damage > convert in equal cold damage > moster takes cold damage
or
b) monster takes hit > my minion already doing cold damage > moster takes cold damage
???
I'm interested in this coz i wan't to know which curse i need to use for damage boost
If it's works how A opt i should using vulne curse
if b opt eleweak and frostbite

B

Can i read it somewhere? I'm tried to seek some info on poe wiki and found nothing

Converted damage is just that, converted. it is no longer A, it is B.

if you have 500 phys damage, and convert 100% of it to cold, you now deal 500 cold damage.



hydrosphere gem in my helm.
deals physical damage
100% converted to cold damage if no ailment/frozen brittle
100% converted to lightning if shocked/sapped

hydrosphere will NEVER deal physical damage, because it is always converted to either cold or lightning. the game will never 'register physical damage' from thsi skill. you will never take physical reflect. convert happens before the damage happens.

Sweet helm Thror, I am borrowing your hydrosphere setup :)

Rog made it. i was originally using it as a level 1 hydro, with cull, hextouch, and conductivity. but now that my crit is 100% (and i get to ignore enemy resistances), i figured, why not make it another dps link.

ssf, gotta find damage somewhere!
