How does Elemental Army Support work when supporting Summon Skeletons of Mages?

How does Elemental Army Support work when supporting Summon Skeletons of Mages? Does every mage work as a separate minion and create its own exposure? Does every hit apply exposure based on the mage's type? Or does it always apply exposure for whatever the highest hit from among all mages is?

Does nobody know about this? Or is it the wrong forum to ask in?

You cannot apply multiple instances of exposure as far as I know.
If an enemy has a negative effect, the game engine will always take the highest roll into account unless it has a unique stacking property. In that case your enemy will have the single highest exposure effect from your sources.

Sorry for the delayed answer, I didn't see your post.

Obviously, I didn't mean multiple exposures of the same type. I'm asking whether the mages apply fire, lightning, and cold exposures simultaneously. And if that isn't the case, how do the two gems interact?

Bumping this up in case someone has an answer and not a link to unrelated clips on their YT channel.

I think you're in the wrong channel. This is early access discussion for PoE 2.

Summon Skeletons of Mages is a PoE 1 skill.

In addition, the PoE 2 support gem "Elemental Army" does not apply exposure. Reference: https://poe2db.tw/us/Elemental_Army

So the answer to your question from a PoE 2 forum, is "No, it doesn't work".

In general, it is possible to apply multiple exposures of different types.

This skill would apply multiple types of exposures if the highest elemental damage type is varying. I think that the minions would be able to apply the different types on the same enemy. One exposure should not remove the other, if the damage type is different, rather it will last for the duration.

It is a little bit tricky to test as the exposure values are not shown in game, but you would be able to verify it on mobs that have 0 < 10 elemental resistances, as their resistance icon should switch when the exposure is on.

I didn't post it in the PoE2 forum. It got moved there for god knows what reason.

A lot of threads getting moved around. It has been an improvement since they have started moderating again, but occasionally I think they get moved incorrectly.

Your mages are doing multiple types of ele damage?
