Template:Passive
Elemental Equilibrium (often referred to as EE) is a keystone passive skill which changes the resistance of any monster you hit with elemental damage (fire damage, lightning damage and cold damage), increasing resistance to the element you hit with by 25% but reducing other elemental resistances by 50%. Multiple EE strikes will overwrite each other. The effect lasts 5 seconds or until being overwritten.
Mechanics
Only a hit that deals damage is required to apply these resistance modifiers. Blocked hits or hits with no damage (e.g. while having Ancestral Bond) are not capable to trigger Elemental Equilibrium.
If you hit an enemy with two different elements at the same time it will give -50% Resistance to third element and +25% to both elements used. A hit carrying all three elements types will give +25% to all elemental Resistances.[1]
Totem skills trigger EE as they are treated as your hits. Minions' hits do not count as yours so do not trigger EE.[2]
Multiple attacks that hit simultaneously are still processed independently, so the first hit that is processed will trigger EE that affects the other hits. [3]
Damage which does not come from a hit, such as 
Searing Bond or the burning ground from 
Fire Trap, does not trigger Elemental Equilibrium.
Traps and Mines trigger Elemental Equilibrium.
Example Uses
As long as you are careful to not use the same element twice in a row, EE can greatly boost damage. Try to use a combination of skills that alternates between two elements or cycles through all three:
Fireball + 
Freezing Pulse is a basic example- Use an area attack combined with indirect damage sources, such as Searing Bond or minions with elemental damage.
Location
Elemental Equilibrium is located in the center of the tree, just above the Scion's starting area.
