Elemental Penetration Support Gem?

I'm playing a dual elemental spell caster. Now that I'm 86 and about to start trying to 6 link my chest I came to a severe road block...

How the hell do I deal with elemental resist. Well up until now I've been relaying elemental weakness which works sometimes, but the number of over capped, and curse immune mobs, is really becoming an issue. So as I was leveling I was thinking "well I'll just link penetration" flippantly of course. Now I'm here in this position where I have no way of truly dealing with these extremely common mobs.

Can we please get an elemental penetration support.

I understand that it would have to be somewhat weaker than other penetration.
The numbers of what it should be? I don't know, but people who use more than one element need something.

Would Elemental Equilibrium be an option in your build you would that be too micro-manage for your playstyle?

Nah

Sounds to me like you have to decide whether or not you want to penetrade the highest damage or the best elemental effect. Sounds like a win-win rather than lose-lose

it's about damage...

Getting Zero penetration when singular damage spell casters get 35% is an insane disadvantage.
Especially for non-crit builds.

Yes and it's a trade-off for equipping call of the brotherhood....

So you can either

1) remove it

2) wear two of them, though i might suggest going cold nova in that case?

Peace,

Wait for Ascendency, go crit Inquisitor. Problem solved.

Call of the Brotherhood + noncrit won't be good synergy, but the ring WILL have a target demographic, crit builds.

Any build that uses more than 1 element is disadvantaged. you guys got some horse blinders on.

Nah. I have like 50% cold 50% lightning. Crit-freeze-shock is pretty awesome ;).

For single targets I use puncture traps. Works very well. Doesn't work for spell casters of course.

What about non-crit characters?

I see a bunch of no no no, with no explanation of why. So the obvious ones would be stacking penetration.

Make it so that elemental penetration cannot be used other penetration supports. Lower it from the 37% @ lvl 20 to ...idk 18%-20%?

There are things that could be put in place to allow character diversity. Just saying no isn't doing anything to further the discussion.

It seems people also think that if your duel element that somehow you'd be getting more penetration. Which isn't the case. If im 50/50 fire and lightning with an elemental penetration gem that gives 20% fire,ice,and lightning penetration, I'd still only be getting an overall 20% penetration.

Lastly for crit builds are you really going to take this gem? Maybe but it really depends if you wanna take out increased crit strike, spell echo, or some other super important gem.

We have elemental weakness which has it's upside, it lowers all resistances. But it's not as high as the other elemental curses and doesn't give to bonuses to freeze,ignite,shock.

I don't see why this gem couldn't be implemented with the same logic in mind.
