A ggg confirmation about whether EE was changed or not would be very helpful because, apparently, many people still think its the same as it was before.

But I don't see how it could be the same as before while before, the description was talking about -30 resistance and now its -50% !

Ah actually that EE thread here, http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/19803/page/6 does say they changed it to how you thought. Hitting with all 3 no longer does nothing, but rather gives +25% to all resists, confirmed on January 29th, i had read an earlier part of that thread that I guess was the old EE and missed that they changed it.

So ya, sorry about the old info earlier.

When did I say it was buffed. I said the new EE was quite penalizing for characters dealing elemental damage. Or were you talking about some other alpha member(s) ?

Not you that was directed to an "elite alpha" member who is proud that devs listen to his suggestions.

You can easily track down the EE threads.

The old one even has a quote how EE works. There you can see that in old EE -60% was possible.

Here is the old thread. EE had a buff to 30% on a later patch.

Alright, so it's a little bit different.

That other thread is way old. Pre-patch it was +25%/-25% for every individual element with an arbitrary clause that nothing happens when you hit with all 3 elements. So instead, having only 1 element now makes the buff stronger, whilst having 3 elements makes it actually weaker.

As far as i know, the elemental equilibrium map mod is applied to the player, not to the monsters. It's a curse, not a buff!

Well, for most builds its a curse, there are a few builds out there where EE is beneficial to the player, but for whatever reason they decided not to get it (too big a node investment being the most obvious reason).

What i mean here, is that the map mod is the opposite of the keystone.
The keystone applies the resist modifier on monsters whenever they are hit.
The map mod affects the players resistances when he is hit.

Hmm, where did you get that info ?

No, I think the EE map mod works just like the keystone for characters playing the map.

It says players having EE not monsters having EE.

It would be nice if monsters had EE because only on maps with mobs like on ancient pyramid you would ever feel it.

up since i´m intrested as well

Oh the English language makes things so confusing sometimes lol
