Yes it does work. Critical strikes won´t work though.

ok ty!

and what about increased damaged with ailments from attack skill for this skill?
i mean this gem isn't an attack skill, its a spell and doe(damage over time)

therefore, it won't work?
its is a spell, therefore it cant be "attack skill"

it cant create any ailments - damaging ailments are ignite, bleed and poison - all exclusively on-hit effects. SR applies burn (fire damage over time), it does not hit

'it cant create any ailments'

does not scorching ray ignites the targets it hits?
Although that it is an spell and not attack skill.

No, it is not.

Ignite is a status ailment. As Ludvator says, it can only be applied by skills that Hit the target.

Burning is just another word for "Fire Damage over Time". Any Fire Damage over Time is Burning damage.

Ignite indeed deals Fire Damage over Time (same as Burning damage), but there are sources of Burning damage that do not come from Ignite. (Scorching Ray, Righteous Fire, Searing Bond, Herald of Ash, ...)

I haven't tried a Scorching Ray build but to my understanding it will work with Elemental Equilibrium because it does not hit. So if you had something like a spell totem with lightning damage attached to it, the totem would proc your -50% to fire resist, then you can melt them away with Scorching Ray and not lose the negative fire resist. I'm not sure if it would work with Elemental Overload, maybe you can get a utility skill to crit and trigger the Elemental Overload so it works on Scorching Ray.

yes, the popular way is to use orb of storms with increased crit to proc both EE and EO. and if thats not enough, you can also put low level arcane surge there and theoretically curse on hit (in case you have spare links)
