Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2)

Damage Conversion Explained

Add to Watchlist

Damage Conversion is a Skill Tag in Path of Exile 2 (PoE 2). Read on to learn what skills and gems that have the Damage Conversion tag, the affixes, Uniques, and what Damage Conversion is!

What is Damage Conversion?

Damage Conversion In-Game Description

Damage can be converted from one type to another. This causes it to deal the new damage type, scale with modifiers to the new damage type, and no longer scale with modifers to the old damage type.

For example, Fire damage converted to Lightning damage now scales with Lightning damage and causes Shock, but no longer scales with Fire damage modifiers or causes Ignite.

Conversion is a two step process. Conversions inherent to Skills occur first, then Conversion from all other sources. Damage over time cannot be converted.
