Damage Conversion

Damage can be converted from one type to another. This causes it to deal the new damage type, scale with modifiers to the new damage type, and no longer scale with modifiers to the old damage type. For example, FireFire DamageFire damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Fire Resistance. Fire Hits inflict Flammability based on how much Fire damage is dealt, which provides a chance to Ignite. damage converted to LightningLightning DamageLightning damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Lightning Resistance. Lightning hits have a chance to Shock based on how much Lightning damage is dealt. now scales with LightningLightning DamageLightning damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Lightning Resistance. Lightning hits have a chance to Shock based on how much Lightning damage is dealt. damage modifiers and causes ShockShockShock is an Ailment that causes targets to take 20% increased damage, and lasts 4 seconds on players or 8 seconds on non-players by default. Lightning damage from Hits Contributes to chance to Shock enemies. The higher the Lightning damage dealt, the higher the chance. By default a Hit has 1% chance to Shock for every 4% of the target's Ailment Threshold dealt., but no longer scales with FireFire DamageFire damage is one of the five Damage Types. It is reduced by Fire Resistance. Fire Hits inflict Flammability based on how much Fire damage is dealt, which provides a chance to Ignite. damage modifiers or causes IgniteIgniteIgnite is an Ailment that deals Fire damage over time, and lasts for 4 seconds by default. The chance for a Hit to Ignite a target is determined by the total Magnitude of Flammability on the target, including the amount added by that Hit. Fire damage from Hits Contributes to the Magnitude of Ignite, so Hits dealing more Fire damage inflict stronger Ignites. The base Magnitude of Ignite is Fire damage per second equal to 20% of the Fire damage dealt by the Hit that inflicted it. This is calculated using the final damage dealt by the Hit, but not any modifiers on the target that affect how much damage they will take from the Hit. This Magnitude is not further affected by any modifiers to the damage you deal. Modifiers and Debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage (such as Shock) can affect the damage the enemy takes from Ignite, but any such modifiers that specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Penetration) do not affect Ignite damage.. Conversion is a two step process. Conversion inherent to Skills occurs first, then Conversion from all other sources. Damage over time cannot be converted.
