Not a bug and nothing to fix. Do a search next time. You don't take the additional damage.

" Not a bug and nothing to fix. Do a search next time. You don't take the additional damage. wrong. " Raye wrote: And to clarify, it's all intentional. You're still on shocked ground, you are affected by the ground, but the effect do not make you take more damage. This was made this way to allow co usage with other items requiring you to stand on shocked ground etc. thank you. so they do something completely different then the description says. On shocked ground maps, that makes it hard to notice when a shock is applied by monster. meh.	Posted by PopeJo on May 1, 2016, 2:27:05 PM Quote this Post
This is not a bug. They do not make you immune to shocked ground (which would prevent the debuff being applied), they make you unaffected by shocked ground - the debuff is applied, at 0% effectiveness (effectively 100% reduced effect, unmodifiable by other effectiveness modifiers). This is correct behaviour.	Posted by Mark_GGG on May 1, 2016, 6:48:25 PM Grinding Gear Games Quote this Post
But admittedly bad descriptive text...	Posted by SonOfSmak on May 1, 2016, 11:31:43 PM Quote this Post

Shock requres a hit to apply it to you character and it'll be there for the duration Shocked ground effects your character only when you are in it Same with burning ground burning you, and hits igniting you causing you to burn Ancestral Bond.

Burning Ground and Ignite are indeed different, hence the ground effect not being called "Ignited ground". However, Shocked Ground is a Shock (and Chilled Ground is a Chill). The answer to PopeJo's question is that if you have a Shock from Shocked Ground, and a Shock from being hit by lightning damage, then only one of them is ever in effect at a given time - the one with the stronger effect. Thus if you have a 100% effectiveness Shock from damage, and a 0% effectiveness Shock from Shocked Ground, then the 100% one will be active, and the 0% one will be inactive.
