Mybe it is, but still: how does it works?

Casters don't need weapon damage, so the -150% WDM is only there so no melee build can profit from the -20%

Omg. My bad, may be my question is wrong... Not "how it works", like for what build it works. I`m building summonsin.
The question is literally, how it works. Skill have no visual and description says -20% enemy -150% Elemental damage, and on top of that it is said to be a buff. I ask what will happened, when i use the skill, it has buff icon on me and nothing on enemies. Can just someone tell me how it works.
It is unclear who or how get this -150 damage, is it a buff + debuff on casting or an aura.

[Semigloss]

Consider it an aura that debuffs nearby enemies so they deal less elemental damage. The -150% weapon damage loss applies to your physical damage directly.

I think it's a pretty OP debuff. Specially with Prismatic Cloak.

1) reduces elemental dmg received
2) reduces your own phys dmg
3) augments weapon elemental dmg

It's meant to be used with an elemental weapon, like Wrist Blades

What kind of gear would be suggested? Shitload of Dex and (lightning?) pierce for elemental clawsin?

Bitchhunter set can get you far enough. But overall just like any other elemental wepen build - try to balance pierce and stats (if use crafts - don't even try Trinity - they're totally worthless compared to stat crafts even at endgame)

Bitchhunter it will be then. Anything specific from SU/runewords pool?

I'm also wondering: how? There are limited stats on char pool, would be nice to know a little mechanic. Sadly after self-wipe I don't have an assa to test.

Does Banish proc still interrupt attack animations? For example from

is a good combo, especially if you plan on using Charged Strike oskill, but even if you don't, they provide pretty good stats for any elemental stat-stacking build. Both can probably be beaten by a good craft, but they do bring some other things to the table.
