Skill Modifiers - Visual changes

Grim Dawn Gameplay Discussion
1

In some thread it was said that not every skill modifier despite providing 100% conversion would give us visual changes

  1. Will this be rectified later on or is it to remain this way?
  2. Which items have been confirmed to provide a different visual?

Interested in this as well, since there are a lot more conversion options now for different builds.

Hopefully, they’ll adress it in later patches. It is a bit weird to have so many 100% conversions as AoM is bringing, and not change the visual effects.

1: Dont know

2: no. No skill mod changes a skills Visual effect

5

I remember Farath’s Cube is confirmed to change the visuals on Flames of Ignaffar.

6

I also remember that. And Zantai seemed to suggest on Reddit that some of the item skill modifiers would change the visuals.

EDIT: Disappointingly, on today’s stream of one of the playtesters we also saw that complete conversions do not change the effects.

My wording might a little off. Farath’s Cube turns FoI into Blue flames. Any other skill mod that does this? I’d like to know which skill mods do this

8

Really? I thought Albrecht’s Aether Ray would at least turn red if you use the 100% Aether turned to Chaos damage modifier…

Storm totem turns red with vitality transmuter

10

Transmuters are different from modifiers

AAR turning Red and Storm Totem turning red are through transmuters. Almost all transmuters with conversions have a visual change associated with them

My original question pertains to the newly added item skill modifiers

Can someone please reply to this?

A modder can easily answer this. If fxes are parametric then yes. I hope that changes are very modular.

Going to hijack this thread to clear something up.

If a skill mod adds 100 Aether damage to AAR and then I pick the Chaos Transmuter. Would the 100 extra aether damage be converted as well?

Same question for item based conversion
I have a skill mod that adds 100 Cold damage to Fire Strike and now I use Warpfire. Would it convert Fire Strike’s Skill Mod damage as well?
