Elemental Proliferation not adding 20% Chance to Freeze, Shock and Ignite

"

I tested it with Storm Burst + Prolif on a Resolute Technique guy with no other chance to Shock and had zero issues, tooltip nor with actual chance... odd

no issues with Shock Nova either

is it possible your sockets aren't actually linked, and they only just look linked

Here is what I show for Storm Burst

Storm Burst (02/00)
- Deals 10-15 Lightning Damage
- Adds an Additional Projectile
- 250% More Area Damage

Storm Burst (02/00) + Elemental Proliferation (19/00)
- Deals 10-15 Lightning Damage
- Adds an Additional Projectile
- Elemental Ailments caused by this skill spread to other nearby enemies
- 250% More Area Damage

It seems its partially working. It shows the spread effect but NOT the extra chance to Shock. In contrast, if I equip Storm Burst + Innervation Support, it does show the "20% Chance to Shock Enemies".

Maybe its a bug that has something to do with the passive skill tree. I do have the "10% Chance to Freeze, Shock and Ignite" from the "Primeval Force" cluster. If not, maybe it's something else.

I mean why are you testing it on an elemental skill?

just put it in a single link with a pure phys skill with a pure phys weapon. If anything ignites, shocks, or freezes at all then it is just a tooltip issue.

ele prolif proliferates elemental damage, but the gem itself should allow non elemental skills to to apply ailments, no?

That would be the quick test.

Without shenanigans like Elementalist's Shaper of Desolation (aka conflux) or Soul Taker, if you only deal physical damage, you cannot Shock, Chill, Ignite, or Freeze, even if you have 100% chance of those ailments.

The testing method I used works fine - Resolute Technique to remove any Crit-based ailments, make sure I have no other x% chance to y or z anywhere else on character, then use Elemental Proliferation Support. It worked, so it works.
