Trinity is a persistentbuffskill. Whenever you deal damage of a particular element, it grants Resonance of that element and removes some Resonance of the other two elements. You gain more elemental damage based on the total amount of Resonance you have.
The character must deal Elemental Damage with an Attackhit to gain Resonance. Character will gain Resonance of the highest Elemental Damage type and lose 3 Resonance of the other types.
You lose 10 Resonance of a specific element per second if you have not gained any Resonance of that type within the past 8 seconds.
Resonance is capped at 100 for each element, or 300 in total. As it would be impossible to maintain 100 Resonance of all three elements, the maximum damage multiplier from Trinity is 57% more elemental damage at gem level 20.

Item acquisition
Trinity has restrictions on where or how it can drop.
Trinity: Now applies to all elemental damage instead of elemental attack damage. Quality now grants Skill Speed instead of Attack Speed. It is now a Dexterity/Intelligence Skill instead of pure Dexterity.
Trinity now provides 3-6% more Elemental Damage with Attacks per 30 Resonance at Gem levels 14-20 (previously 7-10%, per 50 Resonance). On dealing Elemental Damage with an Attack Hit, it now gains 10-13 Resonance of the highest Elemental Damage type and loses 3 Resonance of the other types at Gem levels 14-20 (previously gained 7-10, and lost 2). You now lose 10 Resonance per second of specific types if you haven't gained Resonance of that type in the past 8 seconds (previously 5 Resonance per second). Quality now provides 0-15% increased Attack speed while total Resonance is over 250, instead of +0-2% more Elemental Damage with Attacks per 50 Resonance of any type. This results in the same damage on average with easier build up.
