Elemental Equilibrium is a keystone passive skill. It changes the resistance of any monster you hit with elemental damage, increasing resistance to the element you hit with by 25%. However, it reduces other elemental resistances by 50%.
Multiple Elemental Equilibrium strikes will overwrite each other. The effect lasts 5 seconds or until being overwritten. Elemental damage includes fire damage, lightning damage and cold damage. |
The Elemental Equilibrium keystone passive skill grants a flat amount (+25%) of resistance to each element you hit with and a resistance penalty (-50%) to each element not present in the hit.
Only a hit that deals damage will apply these resistance modifiers. Blocked hits or hits with no damage (e.g. while having Ancestral Bond) will not trigger Elemental Equilibrium.
Players can temporarily gain elemental equilibrium from map modifiers.

Multiple hits are never and cannot be processed “together” in this way. Each hit is an independent event.
Each hit and all its relevant effects are fully processed before moving on to another, no matter how simultaneous they look.
Also, EE calculations aren’t done per cast, they’re done dynamically per hit. The game does calculate default damage output of your skill in advance as that part of calculation is done on character level. However, it doesn’t know in advance how much resist the enemy has, is it affected by curses or shocked, those are done on enemy level so there’s nothing to snapshot.
Elemental Equilibrium is located in the centre of the tree, just above the Scion’s starting area.
