A subreddit dedicated to Grim Dawn, an action role-playing game developed and published by Crate Entertainment. Its AoE capability is also just as overpowered. A simple oversight in the design of a skill called Shadow Strike ended up in allowing a build to exist with the highest single target damage in the game. Shadow Strike Cold Spellbreaker (Nightblade + Arcanist) By far the most broken build in Grim Dawn history.

Since cunning doesnt have any evasion quality like agility you really dont have much protection or avoidance to deal with the RNG.

I'm a little frustrated with the mechanic not having some time period of resist to crit or even dmg, something like a second or 2. Which is beautiful.SS is a problem imo as far as being at mercy for RNG, killing you almost every time in Ultimate. You can have it the default green-ish (aether), red (fire), blue (electric) and black (chaos). For exmaple AAR changes its color depending on conversion. Obviously this is disregarding resistances but that was alread explained ITT, so.ДЄlso if nothing else some skills look differently. Some late-game items give huge +% bonuses to damage types you would maybe not normally deal but with conversion you can make use of those bonuses. This is purely to explain that there may be a reason for you to convert damage. Now in-game you'll never see numbers like in the example above. This also means that none of your maybe existing +% fire damage bonuses apply anymore. In essence your total 200 base chaos damage and +400% chaos damage means you deal 1000 chaos damage in total. Then that 100 base fire damage is treated like additional 100 base chaos damage. Let's say you can replace +100% chaos damage with +100% of fire damage is converted to chaos damage. That results in 100 fire damage and 600 chaos damage being dealt. Say you deal 100 base fire damage and 100 base chaos damage.

Conversion determines how much of the original, the base damage is being converted. Only type-specific percentage bonuses are applied after conversion. If you wish to know more, or if something is confusing, or if you are interested in Pets, let me know :3 So you choose not to convert anything and just focus on Bleed & Physical dmg with Bleed & Physical RR, even though the primary focus is Bleed. However, you will find that Physical RR is rather easy to come by without the need to sacrifice something for it. That means, no room for say Elemental or Poison RR. But since you are going for a bleed based build, you will be focusing on bleed RR. But they also do physical damage and Primal Spirit does Pierce & Poison too. So your choice of Pets would be primarily Briarthorn & Primal Spirit. So you look for Pets that do bleed damage by default and you add flat source of bleed damage like from Primal Instinct skill or Mogdrogen devotion. You can't convert to or from Bleed damage since no conversion for it exists. Take a Bleed based Pet Conjurer for example. However, there are exceptions to the above. That ends up doing more damage overall and it won't be possible without Conversion. So what you do is try to convert as much of the damage types as you can, into lightning or atleast Elemental dmg so that it can benefit from Elemental/Lightning RR. It is hard to get a good amount of RR for all those damage types in a single build. Primal Spirit is Physical, Bleeding, Poison & Pierce. However Hellhound does a mixture of Fire, Physical & Chaos.

It gives you 2x Familiars, so the birbs will be your main source of dmg. Let us say you are making a Familiar based build with Bysmiel's Trinkets.

You have Familiar, Hellhound, Briarthorn and Primal Spirit for Pets. The enemy takes 70 dmg regardless of whether you do lightning dmg or vitality dmg. Now say you have 50% lightning RR and 60% vitality RR. If it is Vitality, then the enemy takes 10 dmg. If you do 100 Lightning dmg, the enemy takes 20 dmg. Say an enemy has 80% Lightning Res and 90% Vitality Res. Resistance and Resistance Reduction (RR) mechanics, mostly.
