Gavel's New Mechanics: Experienced Questions

(Created this thread using a phone, so apologies for the misspelling. Also, post your element builds, i'd like to see how people are doing with the new mechanic! :D )



Elements are a really great addition to the game which adds variety to classes.
However, i'm curious onto how skill points are affected to armors and such.

I'm not talking about the skill point level requirement, I'm talking about how the effects of skill points can be hindered or boosted with certain armor.

One of these questions is do the neutral effects of skill points still work if you have armor that decreases that element of that skill?

Another question since it is day one, are there elemental bracelets/talismans etc that boost the attack of your element or defense? And if so by how much?

Last question regarding the new abilities such as reflection, do they only work if you have a certain amount of that skill or doe it just work if you have even 1% of it?
