it does not convert Torrent, it is a secondary effect

Secondary Skill Modifiers

Introduction I think there needs to be a guide to cover this since it’s been a source of much confusion since the release of Ashes of Malmouth, and in some cases even before that. This is a short reference sheet and FAQ on this obscure game mechanic. Definition Secondary skill modifiers is, as the name suggests, a special kind of skill modifiers – basically a node in your skill selection screen.

*technically Torrent has an additional caveat, but generally only relevant for spam PS; only 1 Torrent can be out at a time

second node adds additional targets and additional weapon damage, which always helps

Torrent is a separate chain lightning, unrelated to PS itself (ie not usual modifier that adds on top of PS/you don’t get PS dmg on Torrent or vice versa) - you only get the Torrent dmg/stats listed as is on the Torrent chain zap hit.

Whether or not Torrent is then worth probably “kinda” depends, legit never bothered to measure it in detail.
My default approach is, if i’m using PS for DoT like CD, i 1pt Torrent, more is meaningless(no dot added/dot wont stack)
if i’m using PS for flat dmg or spam dmg, i max Torrent since it’s extra dmg regardless.
If i were using it for flat dmg mixed with flat dmg support skill, totem/sigil/VM/DEE etc whatever ala rotgheist, while not being spam/using CD version, i might still consider low invest Torrent to max the dmg of the support skill, assumption being those would simply scale better.
