Where are we getting the lightning conversion from?

We get 50% from Phys to lightning gem. We also get 50% phys to cold from hrimsorrow for 100% conversion.

Blade Vortex

Blade Vortex - Added Fire Damage - Controlled destruction - Physical to Lightning - Increased Critical Strikes - Efficacy / Power Charge on Critical / Increased Critical Damage / Concentrated Effect

It's the 4th gem the guide recommends in Gem setups.

Is this build uber elder viable ?

Been playing for the last 3 days and pretty fun build, easily clearing t11-t15 maps with ele equil monster hp etc on a brightbeak with a 5l. Probably done upgrading until I run into some problems since everything melts.

Only question I have is for people running 4l HOI for frenzy charge gen. How often do you actually have max charges, or charges at all. It seems like I almost never have any and my inpulsas is stealing all the kills.

If you want frenzy get a green dream.

I play the non-crit version with Brightbeak and spell dmg high life res shield setup with
6 link Inpulsa's ofc and atm i am lvl 90 and farming tier 12 maps easy as hell.. " not found any
higher tiper maps yet.. my luck sucks".

I took RaizQ passive tree.
I use same GEM setup as RaizQ.
I Use same type of gear accept rare abyss belt insted of his unique IIQ belt.
I use same jeweels in passive tree as RaizQ.
I have capp all res around 125 ish.
I have 95 ish Chaos Resistance.
i killed all bandits for +2 skills.
and i took pantheons from this original guide.

i currently have 7k life and melting thrue T12, no other info i can give.

But what is "% Effect of shock"? I see no difference in PoB...

PoB assumes that your shock always increases the damage taken by 50%, which is the maximum possible. This is highly misleading and inflates the shown DPS massively. It's the reason why Beacon of Ruin is so good: Our shocks always increase damage taken by at least 20% and this can be scaled with shock effect for even more damage.

Ok, have to read this several times ^^
Sounds like this is the answer iam looking for.

edit:
checked the dmg in PoB - also no difference... :(

Just read closely what I've just said...

Iam right (i have to read this more than once)
And ur right - i have to read this more than once
:D

The base duration of shock is 2 seconds and the damage increase scales relative to the amount of Lightning damage dealt to the enemy's maximum life. Increased damage from shock is capped at 50% at 10% of the target's maximum life dealt by Lightning damage, scaling down to 0% at no damage. Hits below the minimum threshold of 1% effect are discarded,[1] effectively requiring a hit of 0.2% enemy maximum life.
Increased shock effect will reduce the threshold required to reach the cap. For example, with 100% increased Shock effect, a hit that deals 5% of the target's maximum health or more in Lightning damage will apply shock for 50% increased damage.

So its all about the threshold...

Hits below the minimum threshold of 1% effect are discarded,[1] effectively requiring a hit of 0.2% enemy maximum life.

So if the boss have 1.000.000hp i have to do at least 10.000 lightning dmg to get a chance to shock?

4900life + 650 mana
would like to understand why I can not do T16?
There is something wrong with the build provided for us!

I had problems doing tier 16 also until i hit something around 6.2k health and got all my dmg items including starkonja with 40% BV spell dmg. You just need end game items for tier 16 bosses i think.. and quality on gems. :)
