Damage taken conversion not working?

So i am using:

Tempered by War Timeless Jewel which converts 50% of cold and lightning damage i take convert to fire damage taken.
&
Dawn breaker shield with 20% cold and lightning taken as fire damage.

So 70% cold and lightning damage taken as fire.

I am then using Rat Cage body armour which converts 100% of Fire damage taken as physical.

I have 110,000 armour.
6 Endurance charges = 24% Phys mitigation
+8% phys mitigation from Watchers eye

This with Divine Shield i should gain some ES from Cold and lightning damage right?

But cold and lightning damage does not regen my ES for some reason.

Screen shot of being attacked by the Plateau totem bosses which do Cold/Lightning damage, No ES regen vs random Atoll map getting hit by mobs shows ES regen.

not a bug, damage taken cannot be converted more than once.

So instead of the timeless jewel and shield doing what they say because of Rat Cage they just don't work at all?

It shouldn't be any different than damage conversion when attacking which goes Phys > light > cold > fire > chaos and you can do the whole chain.

What a ridiculous ruling IMO but whatever.

Damage conversion can keep converting the damage to the next type and applies all applicable modifiers with each conversion.

This would've been too strong for defenses (applying several resistances to damage taken), so Damage Taken As is only affected by one set of defenses at each step. In exchange, you can take damage as any other type, as shown by Rat Cage letting you take Fire as Physical.

Once you take that Cold/Lightning damage as Fire, it cannot be further changed to taken as Physical. That damage will also only be affected by Fire Resistance, not by your Cold or Lightning resistances.



The Timeless Jewel and Shield are doing exactly what they're saying: making you take Cold/Lightning damage as Fire. But you will take that damage as Fire; it won't become Physical just because you're also equipped with Rat's Cage.

Damage conversion is Damage conversion

damage taken as is damage taken as



Mark_GGG specifically told people stop using the wording "damage taken conversion " as it is not conversion as the sense of in-game mechanic

Now I understand why people go down the route of sublime vision and stack fire Res.

It's a shame it doesn't work, it took a lot of investment and you're forced into using uniques that aren't especially powerful and to find out it doesn't work I then switched back to Aegis Aurora because OP.

It works if people just stack phys/cold/lightning/chaos damage taken as fire, but does not work by thinking it is damage conversion and stack also other damage taken as mod to think it will "taken as" twice or forming infinite loop
