Switch the Conversion in Guardian of Empyrion

thejabrixone · October 1, 2019, 2:07am

Small comments. Currently Guardian of empyrion deals more Fire damage than physical damage. The transmuter make it deal more Acid damage than vitality damage.

This need to be changed. Currently all itemization support either Fire or Vitality guardian of empyrion. The vitality one cannot really work without blood orb offhand because the transmuted GoE deal more acid damage than vitality damage.

I propose to change the transmuter to:

100% physical damage converted to Acid damage,
100% Fire damage converted to Vitality damage.

Thank you for your consideration.

I’ve actually mentioned this before, but nothing was done about.

EDIT: does blood orb offhand even work on transmuted guardians? Doesnt conversion only occur once?

Yes, I have tested it.
GoE transmuter is special, it’s exchanging the pet to a whole new pet. So conversion can be applied again to the new pet. I have tested it.

Iirc, storm totem transmuter is also like that.

Are you sure you’ve tested it?

Grrrrr, damn yes spanks!
I use grim internal to see what type of damage that transmuted GoE inflict.
Use blood orb + transmuted GoE = pure vitality GoE.

I’m teasing ya, mate.

I’m just saying that because you said you tested it twice. Love ya, jabby. <3

+1 to this

The more you like him, the more you tease him!

Btw the transmuter doesn’t count as damage conversion. It’s the same scenario as storm totems.

And + 1 from me also.

I can confirm as well. This was also confirmed by Zantai months ago before the forum move (the thread no longer exists but it can be found through webpage caches here).

I’ve made builds around converting transmuted Storm Totem and Guardian of Empyrion’s damage because of it.

Staying on topic, I wouldn’t mind the conversions being swapped around. There’s also the option of equalising the Fire/Acid and Physical/Vitality damage over all skill ranks.
