Interaction between Gods amongst Men, Blood Reaper, and Blessing of the Jade Legion

Hey all,

I'm experimenting with a crit/dot/dodge build. So far the dodge and critical parts are working great but I am thinking about taking the Gods amongst Men and Blood Reaper passives.

These passives read: "+50% Physical Damage converted into Rend/Toxic Damage".
The Gods amongst Men passive reads: "+50% Material Damage, Can Only Deal Material Damage"

Now I know Toxic and Rend damage are material, so that's no problem. My question is, will my character deal 0 physical damage and only deal toxic and rend damage if I take all three passives?

Do the Blood/Blessing passives simply add 50% of your current physical damage as toxic damage, or does it actually convert 50% of the damage? It's worded rather confusingly, due to the sign (i.e. the + sign). It would make more sense to me if it just read: "50% of base Physical Damage Converted into Toxic/Rend Damage" (if that's what it does).

Thanks for your time all

In short: Physical is material. Those are conversions. GaM is a bonus.

Personal opinion: GoM and the previous 2 nodes aren't worth it. If they were to convert 100% instead of 30% it'd be a trade-off. You could focus on material damage which would now be equal to general damage nodes, but the downside would be hitting like a wet noodle when you encounter material resistant bosses.

30% of that little non-material damage you might have is laughable and even with plenty of material damage boosting nodes you'd be even at best.

If it's the +50% material damage you are after then simply take 3 x 15% material damage nodes.

Edit: to answer your question about 0 physical damage... yes, most likely.
