Is Malachai's Artifice working

Hi GGG
Perhaps I have done something wrong but also not sure if it is a bug with Malachai's Artifice. It seems many monsters have vulnerability to fire only, instead of fire and cold, as applied by Carrion Golem socketed. Please see captured images below.









Just in case, I have also linked my character info.

Thanks in advance.

Carrion Golem deals physical damage by default.....post full build please....(please no pastbin as it has chance to expire)

I have posted my build in the pastebin link after the images.
But I think I am doing something silly.
Carrion golem physical damage are being converted to cold damage which explains it.
So I need to find another source to proc EE.

I literally saying if you want people to debug more clearly....post you gear or briefly describe how your build work instead of third party software.....

There is an official link for your skill tree too...

I realized my mistake in the build.
Was using carrion golem socketed in Malachai Aritifice to proc EE but since it does physical damage as you mentioned, monster become resistance to cold and lightning. So silly of me.
You probably guessed I am using Triad grip.
Will try using chaos golem but since its damage is DoT and does not hit, may have to use other golems (lightning golem).

Sorry don't know how to post link to character but thanks for your advice.

Based on your current build , you now use Lightning Golem

EE never work with phys damage (but you have green socket Triad Grip) so that it convert 100% phys to cold. And then your abyss eye jewel has minion added lightning damage. So that only -fire res , as intended.

Hi NeoHongKong
Thanks for your advice and also linking my character.

This is first time I try out EE.
As you know, the added lightning on the abyss jewel was socketed intentionally.
I naively picked Carrion golem initally because of its AOE, but little did I realized it was dealing physical which get converted to cold damage, until you mentioned it in your post.
I saw EE was being proc and thought all was working well until I noticed the "resist cold" on tankier mobs like bosses.

After that, I tested with chaos and lightning golem.
Chaos golem seems to only work sometimes, but same issue with Carrion. I think it is because it has a melee attack which I assume is physical.
Lightning golem is working well so far, but EE proc is less frequent maybe because skill has long cooldown or smaller AOE, but I think it is best choice.
May try flame golem later but don't want to rewire my resistance now.

Thanks again!
