1. How does phys=>elem damage conversion work?

Exactly as it says. Converts xx % physical damage into elemental damage.

Example: Stormblast (barb skill) converts 100% physical damage to lightning. All of your physical damage now turns into lightning damage. More physical damage will boost more lightning damage, more lightning pierce = more DPS. Only thing now is that you can't leech life or mana cause you deal no physical damage with that skill to leech from.

1. In SP, do trophies drop more often when increasing players (/players x), 'cause I see that Ennead necromancer always drops hammer on 8P even when drop chance is 1/4
2. Does stacking fire resist help when fighting Azmodan?

2. fire resist will only help against the apocalypse and the molten boulder from firebloods.
Azmodunk himself has -1000% enemy fire resist a.k.a. good luck tanking flamestrike

Sorry but still missing a crucial clarification : "more physical damage will boost more lightning damage", are you talking about flat phys (such as +min/max damage on crafted gear), or about +% physical damage (such as found on some buffs, skills and passives, and to some extent on some uniques as well)?

(I get that more flat phys would turn into more flat elem, but i'm curious about wether conversion inherits +%physical damage)

Conversion happens at the end of the calculation, so anything that increases your physical damage will also be converted (including things like deadly strike).

will my char be bricked if i lose this second challenge ? will it make much diference?

Your char wont be bricked if you miss all the challenges but doing them helps your char being stronger. Some of the char/builds need the ennead/brc skill to play properly in late game.
Also, there is no lvl limit on brc so you can complete at it at time too.
