In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the legendary aspect called Convention of the Elements from Diablo. Initially, it provided a 150-200% increased damage to a single element for 4 seconds, rotating through different elements in a specific order. However, the updated version, now named ‘of Elements’, rotates through three damage types in each sequence. It alternates between fire, lightning, physical, cold, poison, and shadow damage. The effectiveness of this aspect depends on the character’s damage types, with some characters benefiting more than others. The speaker gives an example where the aspect benefits their character that scales physical and poison damage, providing a bonus 100% of the time.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the implementation of the Convention of the Elements aspect in the game. They highlight that the aspect can offer a 45% boost on an amulet and a 60% boost on a two-handed weapon. The mechanic works through percentage multiplication, not direct multiplication, meaning 30% is represented as 1.30. The rotation of the elements around the character indicates which element type is currently active. The aspect can be placed on various gear slots such as gloves, rings, amulet, and weapons. While deciding on offensive aspects for a character, the speaker suggests considering if the aspect will be useful all the time or only part of the time. The option of a 60% bonus on a two-handed weapon can be particularly interesting for classes like Barbarians or Rogues with elemental imbuements.

They explain that this aspect is not difficult to come by and can be beneficial for characters with multiple elemental setups. However, the speaker warns that if the player’s multiple elements line up with the wheel, they may not receive the full benefit of the aspect.
