Minion Damage Conversion + Vis Mortis

Hey all,

Doing a full conversion minion build + Vis Mortis (100% phys to cold -> 50% cold to fire). Is Elemental Weakness a good curse to boost this kind of build?

What I assume happens is:

100% Phys to cold -> 50% cold to fire -> 50/50 cold/fire damage boosted by negative resists from Elemental Weakness -> 20% elemental added as chaos.

Do I have that right? Thanks.

Elemental damage as extra chaos damage is a shorthand for lightning damage as extra chaos damage, cold damage as extra chaos damage, and fire damage as extra chaos damage all in one mod.

In your example, you would end up with 50% cold, 50% fire, and 30% chaos damage, because 20% of the 100% cold is converted to 20% extra chaos damage, and 20% of the 50% that were converted to fire as well, for a total of 30%.

This conversion is calculated for damage that is dealt.

Elemental Weakness affects damage that is taken.

It will lower the enemy's resistance against cold and fire damage, but not against the chaos damage, and the chaos damage will be based on the damage the minions deal before accounting for resistances.

Hmm, that's what I was wondering about. So it's not upping the damage that gets converted (resulting in more chaos damage), but it is still good for ele damage in general.

I basically have this one ring slot available, so I've been applying Ele Weakness with Mark of Submission.

Thanks!
