question about damage taken as ...

so as title

i have question about dmg taken as other type converstion


let see


the change on Rat Cage chest say "100% of Fire Damage from Hits taken as Physical Damage"

then if i have other source: "50% physical damage taken from hit as fire dmg"

what dmg i will take let say 1000 fire dmg hit on me with no res/dmg reduce?




In other case, i wonder how it work with the shield Mahuxotls Machination and some other mechanic

to be clearly, this shield give

50% of Elemental Damage taken as Chaos Damage


and the Searing Purity (from templar Forbidden Flesh & Forbidden Flame exclusive)

and it give

45% of Chaos Damage taken as Fire Damage
45% of Chaos Damage taken as Lightning Damage



in this case i can understand 1000 lightning dmg, i will take 50% as chaos so 500 light + 500 chaos,

and with the Searing purity, by 500 chaos dmg i get about 500*(45%) back as lightning dmg?

does it make a dmg loop infinity?

p/s sorry for my bad english

I suggest reading the wiki page on the topic, as it has a detailed explanation. Bottom line, the 'taken as' only happens once, so you can't have a conversion loop.

You'll take 1000 fire damage as 1000 physical damage thanks to Rat Cage, the other source doesn't kick in here since you initially take fire damage, not phys.

Same as above, Searing Purity works with chaos damage, and there was no chaos damage at this stage, only lightning.
