Do you want new one ring with converting lightting to cold?

Hi there.
For now, you know that Call of the Brotherhood ring gives

"

50% of Lightning Damage Converted to Cold Damage

It's great, but

"

If you wear two Call of the Brotherhood rings, 100% of your lightning damage is converted into cold damage, and you can no longer shock, because you have to deal some lightning damage to shock.

Now I would like to know your opinion.
Then vote!

Who wants the developers have introduced a new item with converting damage from lightning to cold with less than 50%?


If you vote for
Yes, i want it - just write + at the beginning of your message.
If you not like this idea - just write - at the beginning of your message.


If the idea is approved, it will be possible to do a new build that would allow to have a long-term freeze enemies and shocking at the same time!

Because i want make a new biuld, with good old mechanics )

im all for options. i think there should be multiple options to convert all damage types to all damage types.

however you're forgetting about three dragons. you can effectively do this with just using the three dragons helmet and not convert all of your damage to cold.
essentially you can just keep all of your lightning damage, not use call of the brotherhood, and somehow get fire damage. this way you can freeze and shock no issues at all.

fire damage is easy to come by as well, with something as easy as using herald of ash.

however even without three dragons helmet, its easy enough to just put some flat cold damage on a ring, amulet, quiver, gloves, whatever...and boom now you can freeze (although low dmg so low duration).


but ya i say just use the three dragons helmet and bingida bangida....but im all for conversion options.

Or, just use one Brotherhood ring.
You will have 50% Lighting, 50% Cold, so the freeze and lighting wont last as long as if you were pure one or the other, but it will be pretty decent, and just increase your cast speed/crit chance and you'll be fine.

It's about duration! (without the ring, chance to schock is not 100%, So it is not the same)

between us - who use this helmet in the top builds? :D

top builds aren't interesting in shocking or freezing for 5 seconds, but rather converting everything to chaos and killing everything in one hit.

which duration do you want? shock or freeze? freeze is vastly more important in my opinion, and thats what it seems like you are wanting since you want to convert your lightning damage to cold.
duration also isn't much issue if you're a crit build, which will automatically apply status effects as well as boost their duration by default since you're doing more damage with crit - you really can't beat crit just for this very mechanic.

try it out though. my pure lightning damage build with three dragons freeze locks everything in the game. with nearly maxed crit chance nothing escapes including act bosses like malachai.
actually malachai is a real bitch to complete with my build because freeze locking him makes the fight so....sporadic. its really hard for him to transition phases.

also if you just want some shock regardless of damage and duration you can just use vaal lightning trap which creates shocked ground. as long as the mobs are on it, they're shocked. its great to save up for bosses that you want shocked for the extra damage against

You wouldn't be able to shock anything with what you propose, since Shock [Duration] is based on the damage you deal..

Besides, there's Elemental Conflux if you really want to Shock with non-Lightning Damage already.


What we REALLY need is a Unique that Converts Fire to Lightning.
