Elemental/single element conversion

Hey there,

I got this build:

Belt and rings grant >100% elemental to vitality conversion.
And there’s Path of the Three, which converts fire to acid.
My assumption so far was: FIRST “Elemental” conversion, THEN “single element” conversion (right?).

Because if so, my vitality dmg should remain the same when I activate Path of the Three. But that skill diminishes my vitality damage:

PotT off

PotT on
111

That’s the case with all my dmg. Flat, RE, Obliteration, etc.
How come?

it’s not about tri ele vs single ele, it’s about slot priority order

however, buffs have priority too, so path of the three effectively becomes slot 1

so first you get x fire converted to acid from PotT, then you get 100% ele to vit on the remaining

Oh shoot, right. Skills come before equipment.
thanks mate!

Hah!

Not that I would complain.
But as soon as I swap the amulet in above constellation with NAMADEAS EYE (30% ele to vita on Spectral binding), zero Acid damage remains. No Acid on any skill.

Explain that to me ! xD

because spectral binding is a buff…
so it’s priority 1
so when you get priority 1 conversion, that then reaches 100% because of your other ele slots, you reach 100% tri ele before you reach 100% mono ele, ie the rest of your ele slots get pooled together with priority 1 and has the same combined priority
*from my testing different buffs have different priority, iirc stuff like blood of dreeg and word of renewal? seemed to always come after path of the three/“static” buffs - unsure if that changed later in one of the patches that touched how buffs work with item swaps

Ah thats strange.
The game guide doesnt mention buffs in that matter.
Its like “1st: skills, blabla, 3rd: modifiers on skills”
Thought Namadea would provide such a “modifier on skill” - strange1
Buffs not being mentioned - strange2
Namadea-conversion cramped together with a LOWER priority source, before PotT gets applied - uberstrange3

But thx for the explanation!

the game guide was worded in a way some people found confusing, it’s been rewritten by Z ydya
namadea is a modifier true, and from my tests like blood of dreeg/word of renewal some modifiers have different priority; but it’s because these conversions are still just global conversion, so regular global conversion rule apply, incl mono ele and tri ele “priority slot”
“normal” modifier conversion, ie like 100% physical converted to chaso “to cadence” on chaos gloves, is direct conversion, and equal in priority to Discord ele conversion in soldier cadence tree, “even if that chaos conversion mod is on an item”, because direct conversion is still direct conversion
