Mechanics

Elemental Ailments you inflict are Reflected to you will cause effects that modify the player's ailments (e.g. Cinderswallow Urn's take increased damage mod or Call of the Void's mod, or the Your Shocks can increase Damage taken by up to a maximum of 60% Lightning Mastery) to also affect the player.

  • Blackflame's Enemies Ignited by you take Chaos Damage instead of Fire Damage from Ignite will cause Ignites reflected to you to deal Chaos Damage, meaning they deal no damage to you if you have Chaos Inoculation.

Brittle, Sap, and Scorch will also be reflected, but impart no bonuses.

In general, a character utilizing The Fulcrum will likely want to use all three modifiers that grant bonuses while the player is affected by elemental ailments. Ailment immunity and elemental ailment avoidance cannot be used for this purpose. The player will need to have items that grant Unaffected by <ailment>. Freeze Immunity is also required as Freezing yourself does not impart any additional benefits with just the Fulcrum.

  • Unaffected by Ignite: Tasalio, Cleansing Water as a Chieftain or a Marauder with Forbidden jewels; elevated Shaper or Warlord prefix modifiers (Unaffected by Burning Ground)
  • Unaffected by Chill: Unstoppable as a Juggernaut or a Marauder with Forbidden jewels; not generally necessary due to the use of Winterweave to reverse Chill's slows into increased action speed
  • Unaffected by Shock: Inpulsa's Broken Heart, Replica Winterheart
  • Cannot be Frozen: Craftable Prefix on boots, Soul of the Brine King Pantheon Power (note: the avoid unlocking the 50% reduced Effect of Chill on you upgrade)
