5-6% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage is a powerful modifier found on various equipment pieces in PoE. It converts a small portion of the physical damage you take from enemy attacks into fire damage instead. This has several implications:
Pros:
Elementral Resistances: Fire damage can be mitigated by your Fire Resistance, which is generally easier to cap and invest in than Physical Resistance.
Ignite Potential: If you have high chance to Ignite, the converted fire damage has a chance to Ignite enemies who hit you, dealing significant additional damage over time.
Synergy with Fire Skills: If you use fire skills, this converted damage can synergize with existing fire buffs and effects, potentially boosting your overall damage output.
Cons:
Deception: This conversion can mask the true amount of physical damage you're taking, making it harder to gauge your survivability.
Chaos Damage Vulnerability: If you already have high Fire Resistance, any remaining physical damage becomes even more dangerous due to how resistances work.
Not universal: Not all enemies deal physical damage, so this conversion won't always be beneficial.
Overall:
The value of this modifier depends heavily on your specific build and playstyle. Consider the following factors before deciding if it's right for you:
Your investment in Fire Resistance: High Fire Resistance makes this conversion more attractive.
Your reliance on Physical Damage Mitigation: If you rely heavily on armor and physical damage reduction, this modifier might leave you vulnerable.
Your build's focus: If you focus on fire skills and ignite, this conversion can be quite beneficial.
Remember, PoE is all about balance and synergy. Weigh the pros and cons carefully before incorporating this modifier into your build. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to consult experienced players or online resources for further guidance.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions about Physical Damage Converters or PoE in general.
