using conv gives +100% lightning damage vs 0 res mobs (+3250 avg light damage), while using fana gives about +500ed (assuming you have like 470 base dam that is about 2350*ds=~3525 damage vs 0 dr mobs)
vs a 50 res/dr mob; using conv gives +4875 avg light damage, while using fana gives +1763avg damage
well, your calculation is not correct:
With a wpn dmg of Ø 427 fana adds Ø 3592 phys dmg (with 71% DS).
That means, with Fana i have Ø 3592 phys dmg + 1-6500 (Ø 3250) light dmg. With Conv i have no additional phys dmg, but "only" the 1-6500 light dmg.
Now to the example monsters:
0 dr, 0 light res:
Fana: Ø 3592 phys dmg + 1-6500 (Ø 3250) light dmg > Ø 6842 total
Conv (-150 enemy res): 0 phys dmg + 1-13000 (Ø 6500) light dmg > Ø 6500 total
50 dr, 50 light res:
Fana: Ø 1796 phys dmg + 1-3250 (Ø 1625) light dmg > Ø 3421 total
Conv (-150 enemy res): 0 phys dmg + 1-13000 (Ø 6500) light dmg > Ø 6500 total
A few more things to consider:
There are a lot of more light immune monsters than physical immunes.
The light dmg range is much bigger than the physical dmg one (thanks to grief).
You can leech from phys dmg, but not from elemental dmg.
Fana boosts your merc as well, Conv does not help him much.
After all that numbers i just prefer the Fana build, that way i can easily switch the dual dream vs shako + exile or other items.
