convert damage taken to chaos damage?

are there any other items other than darkscorn that do this?

and if i have chaos inoculation, is it pretty much a 25% physical damage reduce?

and if so, is it viable to build around doing that?

Yes, if you have CI, any damage you take that is converted to chaos can be ignored.

Incandescent Heart converts 25% of elemental damage taken to chaos. I don't know if it's a sensible item to use with CI though, as it doesn't have that much ES.

More interesting would probably be Darkscorn + Lightning Coil. This combo will convert 65% of physical damage taken to some other, easier-to-mitigate form of damage. Again though, CI may be a bad idea as Lightning Coil has no ES on it.

hmmm... Lightning coil is def not going to happen. With my current gear setup light res is the only thing I can't cap. But incandescent heart seems intriguing. ATM I have about 5.5k ES without using a shield (using discipline). My armor has 960 ES, as well as 25 intel.

Would the 800~ armor make up for the lost ES? The armor i use is virtually just pure ES, not really much else on it except 9% LR and reduced stun recovery
