'Snowstorm' cluster notable and conversion

Greetings!

Snowstorm is a cluster jewel passive that gives the following:
"Gain 8% of Lightning Damage as Extra Cold Damage against Chilled Enemies"

I am playing a lightning build with 100% lightning --> Cold conversion. I cant quite figure out if snowstorm would calculate before conversions (thus giving me 8% more cold dmg) or after conversion (thus reading my lightning damage as cold damage therefore giving 0% more cold dmg).

Any1 knows?

all modifiers related to damage are calculated before conversions. otherwise you wouldnt get any benefits from increased cold damage stuff

Right, but i figured that there might be a potential exception to the rule, since snowstorm itself is conditional of the enemy being chilled, which might re-order how things are calculated. Glad to know that isnt the case.

that is kind of an exception, because if the enemy isn't already chilled when you start hitting it, you only benefit from the bonus after the first hit, since the enemy wasn't chilled before the first hit

So basically what you are saying is that i was correct to be sceptical, and that it actually doesnt work?

your first hit has no effect, the second hit (if the first has chilled the enemy) would benefit from the notable

Or it always works with skitterbot

wrong answer at all. What if the skill is linked to elemental focus?
