Does Avatar Of Fire half your damage?
|
Avatar of fire reads:
-------------------------------------------------- 50% of Physical Damage Converted to Fire Damage. 50% of Lightning Damage Converted to Fire Damage. 50% of Cold Damage Converted to Fire Damage. Deal No Non-Fire Damage. -------------------------------------------------- Does fire damage in general do more damage? Are there any direct upsides to this passive? Must i build around this passive for it to be a good addition to my character? What if i don't find fire penetration and i go against a very fire resistant mob? This may seem like a pretty typical issue, i looked around the forums and saw no direct answer to this question. So, here we are. |

It doesnt really half the damage but you see it halfs each elements damage. it doesnt say you deal 50% less damage.
You can use it with skills like freezing pulse which would deal fire damage then if i remember correctly. You really gotta build around it though. |

The real upside is that you need less to convert 100% damage to fire. Then you can make huge dps gains by focusing entirely on fire damage bonuses. But it doesn't give any bonus to fire damage by itself.
If I have two fish, and you have three fish, how many fish do we have?
None. These are MY fish. |

There are skills and items which convert damage into fire as well - so you ca for example achieve 100% physical damge converted to fire by useing Infernal blow + AoF.
Such combos are quite strong because you can get some crazy damage out of your passives (lava lash + templar wed nodes + WED + Melee physical support would provide tons of damage) Proud 5th duelist in the Jul 1 2012 Ladder Race and in the Nov 3 2012 Solo Turbo Race :D And even prouder 4th Templar in the Nov 10 Four-hour Party Hardcore Race :P Current OB success: top 20 Ranger in 105 Minute Turbo Solo (S4E9) Last edited by Sony_Black#0112 on Dec 5, 2013, 2:56:03 PM

If you use Infernal Blow, Cold to Fire, or a perfect Blackgleam
you can convert the remaining 50% of the damage to Fire as well as the 50% that Avatar of Fire is changing, for a full 100% conversion. By doing so, your damage will be entirely elemental, which has certain benefits and drawbacks: Pros: Enemies not resistant to Fire will be MUCH easier to kill than with a physical attack Weapon Elemental Damage is easier to boost in many ways than physical damage tends to be Crits will apply a massive burn to the enemy, while a physical crit would not apply any status Fire Penetration gem can be used to pierce the enemy's resist (even into the negatives) for a large damage boost to your entire damage Cons: You can't leech anything without a Life Leech/Mana Leech gem as you aren't doing physical damage As a result of no leech, reflect may be hard to deal with Fire resistant enemies or enemies that resist all elements (which can be quite common) will resist a portion of your damage that they normally wouldn't if you were using physical i too fas fo youuuuuuu

Another interesting build - cold to fire + Ice spear crit build (with AoF of course) ;) Ice spear allows you to put a lot of passives into crit damage, since it already has a great chance to crit...
