Berek's Respite and Proliferate

Can Berek's Respite's effect Proliferate? If it counts as a separate entity, then it wouldn't; but since it has to use the original source of the Status Ailment to calculate the Ignite Damage and/or Shock Duration, then it holds to reason that it'd still use the linked Elemental Proliferation, no?

I'm curious...

Psst, Vipermagi. :P

I don't think so, with proliferate your main skill has a property 'on inflicting an enemy with a status effect, that enemy will spread that status effect within a radius around itself'. Berek just copies the ailment, it does not possess the properties of the skill that inflicted it.
