Trinity support pls help

Hey guys I just don't understand Trinity Support... The skill says :

"Hits with Supported Skills for which the highest Damage Type is Elemental cause you to gain 25 Resonance of other Elements per second for 2 seconds"

So if I was playing with Ligntning Arrow(lightning dmg) and my bow has adds # to # Fire/Cold dmg, wouldn't it proc even IF it has the same flat dmg? Because in principle the Flat dmg is "rolled" and in the end my Lightning dmg is sometimes higher and sometimes my Fire/Cold. Or am I misunderstanding something?

and also the Gem says:

"Supported Skills deal 3% more Elemental Damage per 5 of lowest Resonance"

but I'm supposed to have all my resonances full, then how do I benefit from the more ele dmg?

hope you can help me ^^

You need to consistently deal more damage with at least two elements to max out trinity.

So for example if you deal 5000-10000 lightning damage and 1000-6000 cold damage the odds of cold rolling higher than lightning are pretty low and you wont max out your resonance consistently.

Another example would be 5000-10000 lightning damage and 4000-8000 cold damage. In those ranges you can expect cold to deal the most damage on a consistent basis which will max out your resonance.


To answer the other question if all resonances are maxed they are all the lowest so you get the highest damage bonus.
