Question regarding conversion

[KoalaeiO]

The order of events for Conversion is as follows: Base Skill > Skill Modifiers > Conversion on the Skill or Transmuter > Conversion on Equipment and Buffs > Equipment, Auras and Passives

Hello!

I always thought all conversion happened at the same time, but reading again the game guide I got a bit confused. Does this quote mean there are two conversion steps?

If I take aether AAR, convert it to chaos with its transmuter, can I convert it back to aether by using two Albrecht’s Duality rings for example?

Thanks

Conversion can only occur once, and conversion on a skill occurs before conversion from equipment, so Aldbrect’s Duality rings will not convert it back to aether damage.

All other conversions happen simultaneously.

EDIT: NO YOU CAN’T. Just checked, chaos stay chaos.

Hmm… So the game guide actually refers to which conversion effect (skill or gear) is used, instead of “which one is used first”. Good to know.

Other than that, all other conversions happen simultaneously.

I heard somewhere that piercing ratio happens after all the other types of conversion.

Yep, you can do this.

Transmuters are part of the skills, so the damage they convert become that skill damage type.

Other than that, all other conversions happen simultaneously.

Oh, does it work that way? I always thought conversion happened once no matter what, although I haven’t ever tested it with AAR.

Edit - I just tested AAR with Chaos Ray with two Aldbrect’s Duality rings and it did not convert it back to aether.

Guys I was wrong. Just checked in game and edited my post to avoid confusion.

Sorry for confusing you even further.

For some strange reason i clearly remember to have tried this ages ago, and could have sworn that things worked as i have stated, but this not the case apparently.

EDIT: This is strange indeed. I have recovered an old char of mine (warlock, 1.0.0.1) and he use AAR + Transmuter + 2 Albrecht’s Duality, just as I remembered. It’s possible that the recent patches have changed how conversion work???
