[2023] Should skill damage conversion convert all damage

One reason we've never done this is because you would have inconsistent behaviors between specific element added damage for base and converted. Like if you have lightning blast and +20 fire spell damage, then you convert lightning blast to cold and suddenly that fire spell damage is converted to cold. So suddenly, you have to convert a spell in order to take full advantage of specific element added spell damage. So then the rhetoric becomes: "skills are only worth using if they have an elemental conversion and it is mandatory". Suddenly huge swaths of builds vanish. The only way I can see off the top of my head to fix this (without just going back) is to remove all typed added damage. Suddenly somewhere in the range of 40 affixes go poof and we are left with added damage being just limited to melee/spell/bow/throwing damage.

Almost all conversions work the same for that skill. Some triggered abilities do not have conversions, sometimes that's just because we haven't added it yet and other times it's because the converted version wouldn't work for some reason. When it doesn't get converted, the node should explicitly state that.

Sorry to ruin the poll.

Yea, I didn't bother getting into how much work this actually is to implement. It might seem like it would basically be some tick box but you're right, even if we wanted to do it, we don't have enough time to get it in for launch.
