Damage taken as

Not to be confused with Damage conversion.

Damage taken as is a mechanic that allows hits from one damage type to be taken as another damage type.

Mechanics

On the receiving side, damage from hits may be taken as a different type. This is done before any sort of mitigation. It is important to note that this is not damage conversion. The shifted part of damage does not retain its original damage property so it won't get mitigated either twice or by the more favorable method. For example, if some of the incoming damage is shifted to or from physical, the after-shift value is used in the armour calculation.

Damage taken as is calculated simultaneously, this means that the incoming damage can be shifted to any other type of damage. For example The Rat CageThe Rat Cage
Sharkskin TunicEvasion: (1118-1414)
Movement Speed: -3%Requires Level 56, 152 Dex(100-120)% increased Evasion Rating
+(200-300) to maximum Life
15% increased Movement Speed
100% of Fire Damage from Hits taken as Physical DamageThe truth lies inside every man, if you dig around.
Many a confession was found in the bowels of Axiom. has #% of Fire Damage taken as Physical Damage, this modifier wouldn't have worked if it was a converted to-process.

Since damage taken as does all calculations simultaneously this also means that the initial damage can not be shifted any further.

40% of Physical Damage taken as Fire DamageHe who sows an ember shall reap an inferno. and Avian Twins Talisman with #% of Fire Damage taken as Lightning Damage equipped the incoming physical damage will be shifted to fire damage but the fire damage cannot be further shifted to lightning damage. Because both of these operations would be performed simultaneously on the initial physical damage hit. So we'd be trying to take fire damage as lightning damage before any fire damage exists.
