Bow skills damage conversion
|
Ice shot converts 70% of physical damage to cold damage. Similar lightning skills also do not convert 100% of physical damage.
If I am doing an all elemental build and there are no bow items with only all elemental damage, why do I always have to convert to elemental damage at a loss? (loss in profit, because I don't need any physical damage in my build) Where is the logic here? Last edited by SoulOfReapeR#4323 on Jan 12, 2025, 4:05:43 AM Last bumped on Jan 13, 2025, 1:45:06 PM

" You clearly don't understand me. I am building an elemental bow build. I don't need any physical damage. But no bow skill converts physical damage by 100%. |
|
" I feel kind of stupid to explain this, to a human being. But hear me out: if you have 100 physical damage. And you convert 50% of it to lightning. Spoiler alert:
Spoiler
You still going to do 100 damage.

" Ok, let's say you're right. Let's say there's a loss from the profit :) Are you happy now? |
|
" I don't understand if you have a problem with your intelligence, sorry. Yes, it is true that I chose the word "loss" when making a definition. So why did I choose this? Have you ever not thought about it? Would you be happy if I said that there is a loss in profit? Because there is no need for physical damage in an elemental bow build at least for me.

" I assume the other player is talking about increases. If you have 200% increased elemental damage and 100% increased lightning damage, the physical part would not benefit from this. Therefore you would be losing 50 * (2 + 1) = 150 damage from the increase. So instead of turning 100 lightning damage to 400 lightning damage, in your example you would only get 200 lightning and 50 physical damage. |

" I take my hat off to you, thank you very much. |

" No. Another spoiler alert man:
Spoiler
100 = 50 + 50. No loss in profit.

" You know what will also be bad? If you shove a brutality gem to this. It will be absolutely worse. 100 lightning damage with brutality will net 0. This is very bad :( Here is how to solve it, do not thank me:
Spoiler
Do not shove brutality gem.

" Okay then, let's move on to another angle if you want. You admit that there is no pure elemental bow build in this game? Because of the conversion issue I mentioned? |
