This is going to break my 2 Vitality AoM spammers build on this set, since they need the fire to vitality to work properly. (Never mind the non-spam ones)
As for the DB change - I would like that, but I don’t really think it’s needed. Especially the Top 20 one + mine are all reliant on the Spamulet, which is a royal pain to craft in the first place with all the right rolls. Likewise to maximise damage on all of them, high rolls on conversions to vitality (or chaos) are required.
Which is stuff that requires a hell of a lot of farming, more so that many other Top 20 etc builds to get. Sure, FoA will offer some help, but unless there’s a Vit focused AoM set/MI inbound, this change limits build freedom significantly for Voidsoul.
One man’s loss is another’s gain I guess. Voidsoul losing % conversion modifier for Doom Bolt means all damage will be converted to whichever type you like on Doom Bolt, and that greatly enhances the build freedom instead.
Which is a great direction that they have taken lately - moving conversion to non set pieces.
Enables builds like fire defiler Angrivix, cold Doombolt Voidsoul, etc.
Still weird that they decided to specifically lock Aegis to chaos with this set.
Except using VS your damage% for the damage type you’re using is going to be terrible unless you don’t convert some of the DB damage types. As in sub 2000% levels of terrible.
Sure, it’ll “work” but frankly you’d be better off with non set DB items etc to do your meme builds instead. As then you can get it to a decent level of damage% etc.
We’ve already seen cold spam DB using full Voidsoul that had ~~2500% not fully optimised cold damage %.
Thing is, full set bonuses can sometimes outweigh the build using off-damage set.
