So finally got into the test patch, and lo that change definitely reduced the vitality damage of my Voidsoul spam AoM Sentinel:
With 1 short room it should have been closer to 5 minutes from testing in the previous patch back when I was adjusting it. Don’t have the sheet dps for the previous patch, but it’s doing a chunk more chaos damage it wasn’t before due to the 100% conversion of AoM damage to Chaos. Which means this is a partial break to all Vit AoM builds that only really get support from Voidsoul. Besides, you could already convert most of the AoM damage via certain belt, so really the 100% conversion isn’t needed.
And I get why total damage was reduced too, but really with the recent major nerfs to the Conduit that + this change in conversion appears to me to be an over adjustment triggered by the Top 20 and also hurts cool down variants as well. Where the shear damage VS AoM can do is key to nuking tanky enemies.
So thus I think the conversion change should be reverted, because even if FoA is going to enable Vit AoM more fully, it still isn’t here yet. As for the nerf to total damage, I can see why it happened, but yeah, it’s not really needed with the Conduit nerfs.
On the bright side it’s still suitably tanky despite using Path of the Three :3
