This has to be the most polite "stop being a dick" I have ever read.

I got redirected to here a few months ago when I asked support a mechanics question over email. The questions were eventually addressed by Raics. It's been frustrating to see Mark's name keep popping up in red on gggtracker in the meantime - answering on a forum where a certain mod prevents people from communicating with GGG.

I absolutely understand that they've been in crunch time for 3.0 and don't expect an answer from a mod - directly or otherwise. However, I expect everyone to play by the same rules.

If emails to support are redirected here, qq posts on Reddit should be redirected here as well - instead of being addressed by devs.

Do you think that expectation of fairness is "dickish"?

The posts Mark quoted were 100% dickish.

Can Ice trap chill? Was not able to find this information

I have a weird conversion question. I start with ice shot which converts 60% phys dmg to cold. Then I take the passives Weapon Cold Damage and Winter Spirit to convert 40% physical damage to cold.

So now I should have 100% cold damage right? Here's where it gets tricky: I then take cold to fire support gem and Avatar of Fire.

Now... will all my cold damage be converted to fire damage? Or is there a priority system that will keep some of it as cold damage?

Hi!

How will Kongor's Undying Rage and Perfect Agony work together? Will the resulting ailments still do extra damage, despite the critical strikes (hits) themselves dealing none? Or will there be no benefit?

Looking forward to the new content!
Cheers.

There is one, skill conversion should go before passive conversion and converting to different elements goes in the lightning-cold-fire-chaos order, with any conversion over 100% scaling down. So, 60% of physical should go to cold, the remaining 40% should go to cold and fire at a ratio of 4:5 and 100% of cold will go to fire. So, the end result is you will do 100% of your physical base as fire damage, 78% will go through cold and 22% directly to fire.

I was using 'should' above because the skill-passive priority was a bit bugged in 2,6 for some skills and I don't know if it was fixed or not.

You should probably wait for Mark to confirm it, but if Kongor's multiplier removal works properly so it applies only to hits made with the weapon, it should work, because it doesn't remove your crit multi globally.

The new patch notes say RF damage was nerfed by 20%. Is that a reflection of previous changes that were introduced before which said on the skill "you deal 40% of your health per second while burning (down from 50%)" or it's even a further nerf to RF?

Thanks!

Do the Lightning Strike Projectiles not benefit from the Ruthless support gem?

With Far Shot affix being added to Lioneye's Glare bow does its multiplier stack with Far Shot bonus from Deadeye?
Would appreciate Mark's answer due to not having an ability to clearly test it proofing any causalities.

My guess would be that they don't stack as it's just 1 keyword "Far Shot". I think it's basically something like Iron Grip or Point Blank. Just 1 thing and you either have it or you dont.
