Deadeye Focal Point Less Damage Taken Affecting Self Damage

In my CWDT build triggering forbidden rite and skeletons with Heartbound loop my loop is broken while standing near my marked enemies because of the focal point ascendancy on deadeye. The wording on the notable is "25% less Damage taken from other Enemies near your Marked Enemy" and based on the wording should not affect the damage taken from casting forbidden rite or when minions die with heartbound loop equipped.

Please look into this, thanks!
