% of X damage converted to Y damage

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback

Dear Grimdawners,

Does anyone know if there are development considerations or mods that take on the ‘% of X damage converted to Y damage’? aspects of skills and items?

Main reason:
The trouble I had with some builds is that their damage is too much spread out in different types, and therefore weaker, and consequently I enjoy them less.

Context:
An example of a class that takes it well is the Pyromancer. Even though there can be a bit of lightning and poison in the build, it is reasonable easy and powerful to make a build around physical/fire/burn/chaos/vitality.

A class which does that less is the spellbreaker, where I find it hard to build a character around specific damage types, and end up with physical, piercing, poison, acid, cold, frostburn, fire, burn, lightning, electrocute, bleeding, chaos, vitality.

Solution:
One way of dealing with this, I think, is by having ‘% of X damage converted to Y damage’ apply over the whole board of skills. Is there any development thought going on in this field / Are there any mods dealing with this?

Specifics suggestions to the following four classes:
Nightblade
Nidalla’s hidden hand apply to all piercing damage (33% of piercing converted to acid)
Frenetic throw apply to all piercing damage (45% of piercing converted to vitality)
Ring of frost apply to all piercing damage (70% of piercing converted to cold)

Arcanist
Iskandra’s elemental exchange only converts physical damage to elemental damage used otherwise (e.g. to prevent a spellbreaker/druid/sorcerer/warlock having cold, fire, and lightning)
Tainted power apply to all aether damage (100% of aether converted to chaos)

Soldier
Discord apply to all physical damage (45% of physical damage converted to elemental)

Shaman
Corrupted storm apply to all lightning damage (100% of lightning damage converted to vitality)

Outcome:
Trickster build that has all lighting replaced with vitality, added with poison, acid, bleeding
Battlemage that has all physical damage centred around physical/internal/bleeding/elemental
Spellbreaker that has all damage centred around frost
*Warlock that has all damage centred around chaos/fire/vitality

Wait i thought Discord only affects the flat damage bonuses to cadence

@Chthon - I’d like to see (either via a development update or via a mod) that it affects all physical damage of the soldier, instead of only cadence.

E.g. also Markovian Advantage, Forcewave, Counter Strike

I think if the transmuter of Discord was on Deadly Momentum instead of Cadence itself, it could do what you proposed (and personally I think it would be pretty neat)

5

Correct, insofar as Deadly Momentum takes effect only after the first burst of Cadence.

Right, once you lose that buff you lose the conversion. Theoretically, of course.
