I'm pretty certain that void sphere's "pulling" effect is really just knockback on hit

It is not.

"Increased" in this context is the same as "More"

This is incorrect. This modifier is additive with all other modifiers to damage taken by that enemy. A "more" modifiers would stack multiplicatively with other modifiers to damage taken by the enemy.

Am I right that "Cursed Enemies are Debilitated for 2 Seconds when they Hit" means that when THEY hit me, then Debilitate procs?

​When they hit anything - it doesn't have to be you they're hitting.

Also "Cursed Enemies take (50-88)% increased Damage while on Low Life" refers to ANY damage type?

Yes.

Detonate Dead does not have added damage. The damage values on the gem are base spell damage.

It used to count as exerted on release of the skill

This is incorrect. Channelled skills have never been able to be exerted.

You have to hit them first to apply the curse - it's then too late to modify that hit, since it already happened, and they weren't cursed when you hit them.

the Split personality jewel, which grants a huge strength and intelligence bonus, simply doesn't work with Scion if it starts from a different place on the tree (this is a bug)

For the record, this is not a bug. The jewel explicitly measures distance to the starting location of your class, not any other class starting locaiton.

Correct.

Yes. It's doing the same kind of thing as Hatred.

As a side note, this specific kind of modifier is one of the ones that makes me hate the English language. A lot of ambiguity could be removed if 2nd person singular and 2nd person plural didn't use the same pronouns - "You and nearby allies gain x% of your X as Y" would add clarity if there were different words for singular "your" (everyone gaining Y based on the aura owner's X), or plural "your" (the actual case; each gaining Y based on their own individual X).

Unfortunately, the closest we have in English would be to use "y'all's" for the latter case, which would not be clear to all players. NZ slang (at least from when I was growing up) would suggest "Yous/Youse" (I've seen both spellings) as an alternate plural form, but that would be even worse for clarity/recognition by the wider playerbase.

"gain x as extra y" is a conversion mechanic in PoE - it's the wording for things that convert x to y but also keep the value of x rather than losing it.

This stat is conversion, and specifically is implemented by adding to the same "% of evasion gained as armour" value that Iron Reflexes adds 100 to (IR also sets "evasion rating lost to conversion" to 100, which this stat doesn't affect).

You are correct - increases to armour and increases to evasion are additive with each other when applying to evasion that's converted to armour, just like with all conversion in PoE.

They always have been, and they definitely still are. I've tested this thouroghly just now and it's definitely still working. increased "evasion rating", "increased armour", and "increased evasion rating and armour" all stack additively with each other for the converted evasion->armour, in any combination of those modifiers.

Also, as noted elsewhere in the thread, modifiers cannot apply twice to the same value - a modifier that affects both evasion and armour will apply to evasion converted to armour. It will not apply twice.

PoE's traditional method of "conversion" is to take the final value and convert it to the new stat as "base" in the new stat. Everything did this at one point.

This is not true. No conversion mechanic in the game has ever done this.

The original form of conversion in PoE happened entirely on base values and didn't give any special interaction with modifiers based on what something used to be - converting physical damage to fire damage meant that damage was affected by modifiers to fire damage, and unaffected by modifiers to physical damage, because that converted damage was fire, and wasn't physical (any more).

The only thing that was ever converted this way was damage - this was when conversion was first added for the original trio of elemental-conversion attacks: Infernal Blow, Glacial Hammer, and Lightning Strike.

The conversion system was then changed to the current system, where first the base value is convert...

Yeah, my quick test of this was flawed due to a small amount of increased ailment duraiton on my character that I didn't catch, it's definitely possible to hit this threshold with just one ring if you have no investment into increasing the duration.

It works fine with one ring (EDIT: My testing of this was flawed, there are cases where this cutoff threshold threshold can be hit with just 1 ring) - the cutoff is 300ms, not 500. Two rings is 180% reduced duration, which is so far past the point of not having a duration at all we didn't expect anyone to find enough duration bonuses to counter that and try to ignite in the first place, and even then there's only a small band of durations which get caught by this case.

This is technically correct, beacause ailments are ignored if their duration would be below 300ms. This is primarily to avoid the performance cost of adding and removing lots of debuffs too quickly, in cases where they have little time to take effect. This is less true for damaging ailments than non-damaging ones due to their effect being effectively cumulative and the damage they cause resulting in ongoing changes (loss of life) that persist beyond the ailments duration, but very short damaging ailments also have their own issues with accuracy of duration - any ignite that this is skipping would have ~10% more/less effective duration based on when in a frame it was added, and that error gets larger as the duration gets shorter.

I don't think this has actually been possible in-game before now for ignite, so it's never come up. This is complicated slightly more by the fact that the other damaging ailments, bleeding and poison, don't currently have that restriction ...
