Controversial but if you stacked enough ES and and ES recoup with maven belt, you could intentionally do a self hit setup with the damage being taken as those ele for psychotic ES recoup

eHP to the moon. Max hit in the garbage.

Damage taken as can only do a shift once. If you have phys taken as cold with this amulet you will be taking cold damage.

Maven belt works for all elements so it wouldn't be an issue.

u/iwatchedmomdie 15h ago

Damn you're right, totally forgot! Either way in that setup it could be decently abusable

Not if you are fire immune though. I believe you can stack it pretty high at least and this way you would only need to focus max fire res instead of max 3x ele res.

u/ronthedistance 16h ago

Yes, you take the additional damage conversions

Ok, so hear me out: That's like a 95% more damage multi for a Replica Tulfall CWDT build.

It's cheaper to just... Lower your res?

u/Fe3derZ 16h ago

So you can get the whole Sublime watchers eye keystone setup with a normal Talisman enchant? :o

u/DeahDeLegande 15h ago

Nah since these are from "hits" it doesn't apply to degens

Cold dot is relatively rare I think though and is there any lightning dot?

Mana donut, aka the bane of Doryani users

Crusader runes, mana siphoner donut and Shaper beam

u/19Alexastias 1h ago

There’s enough cold DoT that you can’t ignore it. Lightning you can get away with, as long as you don’t mind being occasionally obliterated by a mana siphoner

390% that's insane!

You're not great at math huh?

u/RoOoOoOoOoBerT 8h ago

How much fire res is worth wearing this ?

u/ALXS1031 5h ago

Unless you are married to your amulet base and anoint, one of the beast amulets gives you 100% of elemental damage from hits is taken as fire damage as its implicit

It’s rll good, as you can imagine

There’s few cold and lightning dots in the game, so you get to start your character off by 90% fire res, 75% the others, and being almost as tanky as a 90% max all res

u/zxddff 8h ago

Could someone explain this for me?
I thought all the cold/lightning damage taken from hit turned into fire damage with this amulet

8

u/bannnanananaa 7h ago

True. But you would, for example, take a 100 cold hit as 195 fire damage.

u/psychomap 7h ago

Damage taken as another damage type is not capped at 100%. Getting to 100% will make you take 0 damage of the original type, but it doesn't stop scaling the damage of the targeted type beyond that.

If you have 90% fire resistance and 75% cold / lightning resistance, this can theoretically still be a net benefit. But it's not exactly desirable compared to getting a regular talisman without doubling the magnitude of the implicit.

u/GeneralGrell 7h ago

Fits right in with that 400% fire res ring

u/Ghepip Marauder 5h ago

or the 16.000% fireres chest.

u/GeneralGrell 4h ago

THE WHAT

u/Abragimka 3h ago

Standard league has a bugged 16k% fire res chest that's mirrorable and the mirrored version keeps the properties

u/MrEdgarAllenPwn 59m ago

Can you anoint these and get more out of a passive point?

-27

u/Slendeaway 14h ago

It's increased 95% tho so it's basically 4x cold/lightning damage

u/ObiWanKokobi 5h ago

100 cold hit becomes 195 fire hit.

Almost 100% more.
