So, what do you think would be a decent gem setup for a 6L piece?
I'm new and kinda stuck about how to get good damage out of this skill.

Can someone help me understand how Trinity works with this skill? I thought stuff that added base cold or fire would merely add to the existing hit, therefore not succeed in swapping elements to really proc trinity.

But I see a lot of people converting to cold, or running hatred, etc. How does that help make trinity work?

Yeah thats easy, Trinity cares for what the bigges damage part of the hit is. Because Lightning damage has such a high range compared to Cold damage you will statistically roll lower Lightning damage numbers then Cold damage numbers with just a bit of Phys to Cold conversion or added Cold damage.

Thanks! So I think I understand.
Trinity relies on doing a different type of damage than you did previously. So by adding cold damage from say, Hatred, or converting some of the lightning to cold, I'm likely to roll higher lightning sometimes, and higher cold sometimes, thereby triggering the Trinity effect?

Yes but converting 40% of your phys to cold via the 2 cold conversion skill points on the tree should probably be enough, Herald of Ice or Hyrri's Ire should also do the trick.

So guys, how are you feeling about Storm Rain and area of effect interaction? Do you think beams has any thickness or is it just a line without any area? Visually I don't see changes in spark animation but maybe it's kinda hard to see.
For now I only understood that if you have higher area of effect then distance between your bolts can be higher to activate them and vice versa. Also bolts has minimum distance to activate so one that standing really close isn't working until new bolt on a higher distance isn't present.
