Avatar of Fire question

what happens to chaos damage in all this?
It just disappears.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.

It gets removed. However if you're thinking about Poison Arrow the Chaos DoT still applies since the source isn't from you, but from the cloud.

I was thinking of a burning poison arrow, but it doesn't seem feasible really.

You are the source of the cloud. If you had some form of Increased Chaos Damage over Time, it would apply, and the kills are attributed to you.

Avatar of Fire simply only reduces non-Fire Damage to zero. Damage and Damage over Time are not the same thing. :)
Okay lets Say i have a Goddess scorned which converts 100% physical to Fire would the AoF convert 50% more is the 100% the max for that?
You cannot Convert 100% into 150%; there is only 100% to begin with.
It will re-scale the two Conversions down to fit 100%, which leaves you with... 100% to Fire. Unsurprisingly :P

Glacial Hammer will convert 50% of your damage to cold, and then AoF will convert 50% of your remaining physical damage to fire and 50% of GH's cold damage to fire then dump the rest. The net result is still a 50% loss of total damage. You can combine GH with a Cold to Fire gem to allow 100% conversion of your cold damage to fire, however, which will net you 75% of your total damage.

The "nerfs" in this patch are in response to the rest of the rebalance and so that many builds are simultaneously viable. You can't complain that there are only seven good builds and then complain when we balancing the power level :P

Nope nope nope. Conversion happens at the same time. You Convert 50% Phys to Cold and 50% Phys to Fire, leaving you with zero Phys damage. Then you Convert 50% Cold to Fire, and dump the rest. 75% Phys to Fire.

With Cold to Fire, you get 100% Phys to Fire.
On a related note... I'd like to see Avatars for the other two elements.

If only because I'd REALLY like to be an avatar of lightning (and/or have cosmetic affects attached to keystones).
