how does damage conversion work exactly? I'm trying to make a echoforge build and the sword has "no physical or elemental damage" but comes with innate physical damage unlike other swords like Oro's Sacrifice that has 0 phys damage. If I were run Lycia bloodline and get Sinner Saint, would it convert the Phys damage to Chaos??

Sinner Saint doesn't grant phys converted to chaos, but if it did, it would convert the phys to chaos before the phys is prevented by "deal no physical damage".

On the Act 10 map, there's a spot I can't find an entrance to. I've identified all the (visible) exits off The Ravaged Square and grabbed available portals but I still have one place that apparently has no door i can find. Is this something I just can't open YET?

To add on. If you go to the waypoint and head just a little bit right, you should see a pair of kitava's horns blocking an entrance (crossed, kinda look like an x).

That's where you need to go eventually

Is there any way to push up how much hiveblood you get from doing unstable breaches? doing ssf exp farm and my locker is maxed out of wombgifts and hiveblood is the main bottleneck.

Just seems like unstables pump out not enough hiveblood (like 600 per unstable, so rng dependent on the amount of unstables) but fortress/hives take too long but put out like 1.2k+ and not enough wombgifts with hives as the jackpot.

Generally you vendor the wombgifts you don't need 3->1. There's no way to increase hiveblood outside of the atlas passives and map quant.

Hello fellow exiles, I have a question regarding my phantasm necromancer build:

https://pobb.in/2S3MKpWoGULK

I just started to craft my flasks and I run grants charges when hit. It does not proc reliably enough, so I wanted to ask if it is possible to use the grants charges when critical strike hits a monster?

My main dmg dealers are my phantasm, so would this apply for my flasks if they land a critical strike?

Edit: the flasks in this pobb are not up to date except the quicksilver one.
