While gearing up my Wizard and doing the seasonal conquest, i was wearing the 2 set bonus of Vyrs and the lightning rune on archon form was working just fine, turning every archon spell into lightning damage.
But after i exited the game, went for challenge rift, completed it. Went back in the game collect my reward, then finish the conquest for 4 set bonus.
I equip Vyrs 4 set bonus and now regardless of what rune i chose all spells in archon form becomes FIRE damage, even when picking the lightning rune.
The only other change i did was craft a weapon with +20% fire damage on it, does that impact what kind of damage archon form does, if so that seems like a huge bug or design flaw ignoring the chosen rune.
Even if i change rune and change back to lightning, its still fire damage.
Its annoying the hell out of me since im wearing manald heal and i rely on it for damage currently…
Not a bug.
The set grants ALL runes no matter which rune you selected. i.e. the element is NOT determined by the rune you selected.
So, what element it uses? It is determined by the highest +%element dmg on your gears, and in your case, FIRE. Look at your weapon.

I have this same issue, except mine goes to Arcane damage, instead of Cold. No Arcane dmg boosts on any weapon, neck or bracers. I cast Black hole with Absolute Zero rune to ensure Cold damage is set, but still goes to arcane. Strange. Any ideas ?
SOLVED!:: It was my Bracers. I had found Ancient Ashnagarrs Blood Bracers, and enchanted the first primary stat to 650 Intelligence … leaving NO ELEMENTAL boost on the gear.(on ANY gear) So I’m guessing since no element is boosted, it reverts to Arcane? After enchanting the first primary to cold damage, it’s fixed. Tested by enchanting it to Lighting damage and guess what. Archon Blasts were Lighting. Rolled an +18% Cold damage and left it like that = Happy.
