Because when damage gets converted to physical, it gets color like pee. e.g. physical doom bolt, AAR and devestation :smiley:

Can you help out with the real question, why does X damage converted to physical damage ignore armor?

So you want me to find the proofs that X damage converted to physical damage ignores armor AND that physical doom bolt, AAR and devastation changes color to pee? Lurk around and google and you will find it.

32

just this one, thank you :sweat_smile:

33

Why, you don’t believe me? :thinking:

34

It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s that the concept is virtually unbelievable. I need TQFan to confirm

35

This was the first hit I got on google Question about converted physical damage ignores armor when I searched for “grim dawn damage converted to physical ignores armor”

Very useful website that google thingy

36

Nope, because I don’t understand the game mechanics. Does this help?

It is arcane knowledge. How does a chicken know how to lay an egg? It just knows by virtue of being a chicken. How do pro GD 1337 players like us know that damage converted to phys ignores armor? We just know by virtue of being pro gamers.

Brb, gotta go lay an egg

Adding to what some people have said here, converted Physical damage ignoring armour is a relatively recent discovery. It was found out sometime last year after Forgotten Gods was released by the community I want to say?

Even years after the game’s released the community is still finding and discovering new mechanics to the game. No one expects you or anyone to know about this arcane knowledge intrinsically, the only way we players learn about it is from people running tests or modders looking into the game’s data as far as we can (as we don’t have access to the full source code of the game). and sharing information with each other.

I knew about it way before FG was out, by playing beronath death knight build. I miss those days, I think the game was at its peak. FG just added bloatedness and broken retaliation damage added to attack :smiley:

Thinking about it, you’re right, Beronath Death Knight was a thing back then :thinking:. Maybe it was mid-to-late Ashes of Malmouth.

Forgotten Gods definitely highlighted it though with converted Physical Retaliation damage.
