If you use Greater Conflagration and then Winter, the final result will be that physical and elemental damage are always cold damage?

That's correct. You'd be far better off using an Icy elemental upgrade than this convuluted combo though.

There is some benefits if you use this spirit combo instead icy upgrade:

- can use zealous upgrade and still do cold damage
- almost everyone do cold damage so bringing more protection against cold is very nice. Elemental resistance will not suffer from weaker physical protection. Ranger and Elementalist cold armors are better.
- if PvE enemies are weak against cold, you do more damage (double damage?)
- Mark of Pain, Barbs, Weaken Armor and Orders are useless
- Symbiotic Bond will not redirect half physical to you (the other half just disappears?)
- Grasping Earth does not have negative effects
- Winnowing useless
- Physical Resistance is like stance hex

There is probably even more advantages. It just requires very special party members and enemies to be effective.
