Can Elemental Equilibrum go down resists below 0 (like a penetration do) ???

I mean e.g. when monster has 30% cold resists and EE make him vulnerable to cold does it mean he has 0% resists or -20%??? I've heard e.g. Ele Weakness cant go down below 0 resists so thats why I ask for EE mechanic.

Yes, Elemental Equilibrium can take resistances below zero, just like curses/Wither/Exposure can. There's no lower limit to resistances, and to my knowledge nothing that reduces them observes any sort of arbitrary floor.

Mines does not act as skills then using Scold's Bridle and they dont synergize with cast when damage taken.

Hello any way to know what the skill/spell carion golem use if theyre conversion in them and if impale support would work in theyre link ?

Support suggested to post my question here

So I remembered the build from long ago: Poison Flameblast with Consuming Darks and since Assassin got reworked I decided to roll as league starter. But I faced a problem: My fire spells doesnt poison at all, while I am wearing 2 CD and Infernal Mantle, having 75% of my Fire damage being converted to chaos. Testing been done

1) Putting in Elemental Focus does nothing

2) Plague Bearer doesnt gain stacks at all, means I am not poisoning.

3) Getting in Lesser poison or Poison gems allow me to poison.

4) Socketting in Added Chaos without Lesser Poison does nothing.

I am at loss, having 40% chance to poison just from Ascendancy is not enough meaning I need to invest in either Lesser poison and Herald of Agony or Poison gem wasting a socket for it... I can record a vid if needed, but the problem is in Consuming Dark itself, I think? or maybe I am just stupid and missing crucial info...

Desecrate gem level meaning in spectres?

Is it important to high level up my Desecrate for spectres? Or only raise spectre gem level is important here? Sorry I first time play spectres and I dont understand this mechanics.

can anyone explain, if monster have a fire or lightning icon for example, it means he have resist to those towers or it means weakness? if its resist i should use ANY other type of tower or do i have to use exact "counter tower"?

How do I move masters to a different floor in the Brutal Hideout? They are all on the roof and I cant seem to move them.

Hi, I didn't found any answer to this. I hope you can help me. How does impale works with minions? In this case with full physical zombies. Are the stacks shared between them? Or only the minion who does impale has the bonus damage?
Any clarification would be appreciated.

I got a question about High-Impact Mine support.

If I were to support Kinetic Blast with it would I need to have a wand equipped?

What counts as "stationary" now, or what was the change in definition?

I play Righteous Fire Inquisitors for my league starters and utilize Sanctuary and Pious Path to upkeep consecrated ground on me while I Shield Charge around, but it doesn't work like it used to anymore. When holding down move, Shield Charge ending, casting a spell, or even short click-to-moves don't count as stationary anymore and Sanctuary doesn't proc consecrated ground.

Or actually, while holding down move, casting Armageddon Brand (0.24sec cast time) doesn't count as stationary even though there's a slight pause, while casting Frost Blink (instant cast time) does count as stationary, for some reason. Is that because ABrand has a short cast time and FBlink is a teleport?

Did a little more testing, and a 0.38sec cast time spell doesn't proc stationary, but a 0.41sec cast time spell does, so I'm guessing 0.4sec of standing still counts as stationary now. Can you please confirm this? Thank you!
