Freeze may be avoided, as the Fulcrum does not provide specific bonuses for it. Common sources include:

• Cannot be Frozen: Craftable Prefix on boots, Soul of the Brine King Pantheon Power
  • Note: this pantheon's 50% reduced Effect of Chill on you upgrade should be avoided.

Brittle, Sap, and Scorch will also be reflected, though the Fulcrum grants no bonuses for these.

Modifiers to Duration of Ailments on you do not apply to ailments reflected back to you; they do however scale with duration of your ailments.

Chance to avoid ailments will apply to the chance to reflect the ailment to you.
