Avatar of fire + occulist noteables?

Ok, so basically.
Avatar of fire - 50% Phys/lightning/cold converted to fire dmg and deal no non-fire damage.

There are two occulist noteables.
Profane bloom - Cursed enemies you kill have a 20% chance to explode, dealing a quarter of their max life as chaos dmg.

Malediction - For each curse killed on an enemy, gain 4% of non-chaos damage as extra chaos damage for 4 seconds.

Question is does these noteables work with avatar of fire?

If chaos damage was fire damage, then yes it would work.

However, Chaos damage is non-fire damage. So, it won't work.

I would guess that bloom would work because it's not you doing the damage. I would guess that malediction does not work.

Yeah, that seems reasonable. I guess the effect of an atziri's promise would mimic the effect on malediction pretty accruately. I just tested and it does not increase your damage.

It is you dealing Damage though. You cause 'em to explode, its your Damage.

So the explosions deal 0 damage?

It still looks cool though, so there's that.

GGG, please "fix" this :D

The ascendant occulist gets "20% increased Damage if you've Killed a Cursed Enemy Recently", i'd much rather have a similair effect.

I sure hope they don't.
A, because the last thing the game needs is more scion.
More importantly, though, because 20% increase is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Killing an enemy with just 2 curses with a witch, however, potentially grants you 8% MORE damage if you deal no chaos damage currently.
That is significant.
It's also a class based on chaos damage and ES, for AoF, I reckon Elementalist would be a lot more fitting.
