Elemental Equilibrium
Elemental Equilibrium is a keystone passive skill.
Multiple EE strikes will overwrite each other. The effect lasts 5 seconds or until being overwritten.
If you hit an enemy with two different elements at the same time it will give -50% Resistance to third element and +25% to both elements used. A hit carrying all three elements types will give +25% to all elemental Resistances.[1]
Totem skills proc EE as they are treated as your hits. Minion's hits do not count as yours so do not proc EE.[2]
Example Uses
As long as you are careful to not use the same element twice in a row, EE can greatly boost damage. Try to use a combination of skills that alternates between two elements or cycles through all three:
- Fireball + Freezing Pulse is a basic example
- An area skill like Ice Nova sets up enemies for a high-damage skill like Lightning Arrow
- Use two Cleave gems and link each to Added Fire Damage, Added Cold Damage, or Added Lightning Damage
