Elemental equilibrium mechanics

Does elemental equilibrium temporarily reduce the resistance cap of the opposing elements, or does it act like a curse by reducing the total resistance?

i.e. if an enemy is overcapped at 75(100)% fire resistance and I hit it with cold damage, will its resistance to fire now become 25% (its resistance cap was reduced) or 50% (its total resistance is reduced)?

Thanks in advance, I'm having difficulty finding any statement from the dev team or otherwise that specifically answers my question.
it works the same as curses -> it reduces total resistance

the only mechanics that reduce actual resist is resist penetration

Thanks for the reply!

Would you be able to link me to a definitive source/dev comment that explains it to me?

No need for that, even if the passive description was unclear about it, there's the way it gets applied. Resist reduction is always applied to the target and penetration is always applied to the skill used, we even got that fancy effect now to tell us which is the case with EE.
Wish the armchair developers would go back to developing armchairs.
