"You"-keyword on Inpulsa's Broken Heart

Hey, I got a quick question about the "You"-keyword, especially on Inpulsa's Broken Heart.

Does the explosion get triggered, if I kill a shocked enemy with a totem? Thanks for the help.

Just like every single other "When You [X]" interaction in the entire game...no. Your totems are not you. They do not trigger "when you [X]" modifiers or abilities. YOU, the PC with the voice lines and the feet, have to score the kill. Not totems. Not minions. Not traps. You.

Alright, thanks! I read somewhere they wanted to change something, that's why I asked. Might just've been a rumour..
This has been one of the most consistent behaviors in the entire game. "When You [X]" modifiers don't apply to your proxies, good or bad. Your totems/traps/whatevers are immune to curses, absorb reflect damage for you, allow you to attack and deal damage whilst moving about and using support/utility skills, and otherwise offer a ton of useful benefits. Part of the price inherent in their design is no "when you [X]" modifiers.

On the flip side? You can permanently maintain "if you have not [X]'d" modifiers. Anything that says I"If you haven't killed recently" or "if you haven't crit recently" or any similar thing can just be on all the time with totems, since YOU, the PC with voicelines and feet, don't generally do those things.
