Elemental Equilibrium is Worth It On Mjolner Builds? (Molten Strike for Example)

Hello exiles, i need some help on Elemental Equilibrium knowledge for my Mjolner Build.

I want to min/max my Mjolner Hits: Arc and Discharge.

I don't use Voll. Simply Romira's Banquets to build up Blue Charges.

I get occasionaly Red and Green Chargers from Warlord's Mark and Bloodrage.

But mainly I do Lightining Damage.

For Single Target i Use Molten Strike.

The Plan Is to Proc Equilibrium with Molten Strike, Enemies Get +25% fire resist and -50% lightning.

I have no elemental damage on gear. I don't run elemental auras. So it should work right??

The Hits happens very quickly. That's scares me.

But the sequence should be right:

I cannot discharge if i don't have charges. I can't get charges if i don't hit with Fire.

When I hit with fire, enemies gets - 50% Light resist.

Everything should work fine right?? Am I missing something?

Sequence goes like this:

1. You hit an enemy with molten strike (+25% fir resist, -50% lightning)
2. Rolls chance to proc spells from mjolner
3. If it rolled ok you proc your spells
4. First spell goes off and hits the target which has -50% lightning, deals damage, procs EE, target gets +25% lightning damage
5. Second spell procs and hits the target with reduced damage because the first spell procced EE
6. Repeat from 1

So it is a bonus if you only use 1 spell in mjolner, but not a big bonus if you use two, that is if the spells don't hit at the same exact time which I do not think will work.

Seemes like bad news for my idea...

But... follow me...

The second spell shouldn't go off.. Unless i Hit another time with my Molten Strike.

And when the second hit goes on... it should reset equilibrium, giving enemies -50% resist for the second spell too...

1- Hit And Enemy With Molten Strike -> -50% Lightning

2- Roll is Ok.. the First Spell goes on enemies that are -50% lighting resistant.

3- After the spell Hits, enemies become +25% lightining resistant

4- BUT. To Proc The second Spell, we Need another hit from Mjoner.

5- That hit is given by another Molten Strike Attack, enemies become -50% lightining resistant again

6- Second spell goes on enemies that are -50% Light. As intended

What do you think?

Pretty sure Mjolner fires off all socketed spells at once when it procs, it doesn't roll per spell in it like trigger gems.

Imo if you want to use EE with mjolner just support discharge in it.

Just put discharge before arc and you're good. Have a CWDT setup with elemental weakness for when bosses get too lovable. I use EE with my Mjolner build and I wouldnt have it any other way and I use Volls. Either way it receives a damage boost, and a noticeable one, too.

EDIT: Spells socketed in Mjolner do indeed go off together but at slightly different intervals, so the order does matter.

Interesting...

Basically you're saying that, spells proc together but you can choose whick spell get -50% and +25%

And... since Discharge is the main DPS Dealer... the downside of EE on Arc it's not important..

Would you still use Equilibrium if you didn't have Volls? (I don't have it on perandus)

This order looks good to you?

Discharge on the Top Left, Lighitining Pen in the Middle, and Arc on the Bottom right



I'm thinking on using Cyclone too on trash mobs... with Added fire should provide the same effect of MoltenStrike

Yeah pretty much.

Not having Volls makes taking EE all the more important, keep it.

The order is fine but where lightning pen goes doesnt truly matter, as long as discharge is first.

It worked! :)

Single Target with Molten Strike always make enemies vulnerable to lightining resist.

So i switched lightning pen for controlled destruction on the Mjonler.

For trash I prefer Cyclone. I proc fire with boots enchatment:



But maybe i can add a 5th link to the chest to be more consistent...

Indeed it does, keep having fun :)

If we discharge with power charge and endurance charge, wich élément proc first ? Will the first charges proc the EE for the second type ?
