Shaper of Flames for Elementalist ballista Explosive Arrow.

The passives Shaper of Flames says "Enemies Ignited by you to convert 40% of their Physical Damage to Fire."

This is obviously not working with totem builds because the ballista totems do the igniting not the character but is it not a design owersight though? Cannot it just be Ignited by the player? Why differentiate it from me? Obvoiusly I don't care about the totems having the damage reduction but it would be a nice one if I had it since ballsita EA don't really have any defense whatsoever.

Going by that logic why Dyadian Dawn Heavy Belt work then? It says "Ignites you inflict with Attacks deal Damage 35% faster". Technically I'm not the one inflicting the ignites but the totems do so the belt should not work either but it does work. I'm not saying nerf the belt obviously not I ask for the ascendancy passive to work with totem builds as well because there is very little defense layer for witches for this build. I mean the phys conversion do affect me as well not just the totem.

Are you sure it doesn't work or do you just read between the lines and guessed?

Simply no to that guess, it works, and it's the same reason dyadian dawn works, before this patch it was always working just like that, the ballista attacks are considered equal to from you and will proc the 25% more ignite damage, this patch tho since I am not playing this I can't be 100% sure, but 99% sure I am it still works the same way, because it is still the same function just had a little change up.

It does not work.
