Does "x% of attack damage converted to health" apply to aether ray??

does "x% of attack damage converted to health" apply to aether ray??

because a bunch of effects that say x% chance to activate on attack work with aether ray, but I really can't notice any amount of damage caused by aether ray being converted to health ... ??

I have a total combined of like 50-some % attack damage converted to health active right now and when I watch my hp in fights it doesn't go up at all when I'm killing stuff with aether ray...

No. That effect only works with weapon damage. Aether Ray doesn't do weapon damage. If it is listed on a skill, it will ONLY work with that skill and ONLY the amount shown on the skill. Other sources don't affect it.

ok.. 2 things

first, it's not listed on a skill. it's from items i have

second, "weapon damage" ?? It says "attack damage" not weapon damage. wth?

If it's on items, then it only applies to your weapon attacks and ANY skills that do Weapon Damage. Aether Ray doesn't do Weapon Damage. However, if a skill does, for example, 10% Weapon Damage, then you only get 10% of your total amount of "+x% of attack damage converted to health". Hope I didn't confuse you too much on that:)

You can read about it here in the Game Guide: http://www.grimdawn.com/guide/gameplay/combat.php

Anything that's not +% Damage only applies to Weapon Damage.

Simple said - PhysicalDmg from Weapon covert to Health (not the +%PhyscialDmg on Weapon and also not another Source like %PierceDmg) No %Pierce No %Lightning no %Aether and so on. If im wrong correct me.

It's not only weapon damage. I'm not sure but somewhere in there I experience serious health conversion from damage other than my weapon. I'm a dual weild gun sorcerer and I Proc Fissure, Meteor shower, Aether Fire and throw BWC in combat. I get massive health conversion spikes that is definitely not tied to my weapon damage other than it proc from flamestrike tied to my main weapon.

I can't answer the aether ray question, but pointing out that somehow conversion is happening outside of my main weapon strike for me.

You are wrong - all damage in the Weapon Damage are converted. Not just physical.

convert to health works with "connected hit" and with instant damage(not sure, but pretty sure), any skill that uses weapon\shield to hit will work
