Dark Effigy does not recognize blackflame covenant ignite as a chaos dot

When igniting an enemy with a fire spell and blackflame covenant, the resulting ignite does chaos damage over time. However, dark effigy does not recognize it as a chaos dot and does not shoot projectiles at the ignited enemy.

Similarly, I'm not sure if contagion correctly spreads a blackflame ignite - I don't think it does. But it should because contagion spreads all chaos dot and refreshes duration (this is definitely the case as patch notes a while ago said "Fixed a bug where the Contagion Skill was not spreading Poison."). https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile2builds/comments/1n3upsd/blackflame_covenant_and_contagion/

Can confirm that Contagion does not spread the chaos ignites. I made a post about it already but never got around to testing Dark Effigy.

For whatever reason, the Blackflame ignite is not marked as a chaos effect.

:(

This is not a bug since chaos fire is a damaging ailment

Effigy requires a damaging debuff and there is 4 I know of which are Contagion Essence drain decaying hex support and poison.

Pro tip, use poison instead of fire. Namely decompose or any other poison cloud creator, like gas arrow for example.

And then to reapply also give effigy a chance to poison support so it will hit unpoisoned mobs with its aoe and also start shooting them.

Another pro tip with decompose, add the other support in which grows ground effects for massive poison clouds, and use poisoned ground 3 aswell

That way the poison cannot be exploded by fire.

Although decompose poison cloud explosion seems to deal even more damage than volatile dead because thats fire damage and naturally you scale some chaos, not fire

Hope that helps
