I don't quite understand how the damage conversion works in the game. Specifically, the order of operations, which directly affects which properties I should prioritise in my passives and gear.

Let's use Cobra Lash as an example. It has a "50% of Physical Damage Converted to Chaos Damage" property. I can increase both physical and poison damage through a multitude of options, such as:

  • "adds X to Y physical damage" on weapon
  • "X% increased physical damage" on weapon
  • "adds X to Y chaos damage" on weapon
  • "X% increased chaos damage" on weapon
  • "adds X to Y physical damage to attacks" on rings
  • "adds X to Y chaos damage to attacks" on rings
  • "X% increased physical damage" passives
  • "X% increased chaos damage" passives
  • "x% increased damage with attacks/projectiles/one-handed melee weapons"
  • and many others

Which modifiers are applied before the conversion and which are applied after it?
