POE 2 Ignite + Chaos Bug

I'm trying to create a build using ignite as caos damage, but it seens it's bugged, and not working properly.

DE should shoot on everyone that are ignited, because the ring make they take ignite as chaos damage

This is not a bug. Ignite is not a chaos damage over time debuff, even with Blackflame. Blackflame gives the enemies a stat that makes them take the damage as a different type, it doesn't change what type Ignite is trying to deal.

So if they "Take as" don't mean I'm doing that type of damage?

If i change the ring to Osin, it should work? Conversion occours before right?

FYI This is a bug right? Don't shown any curse affected

Probably not.
If I understood Mark correctly, the base ability must have Chaos Damage over time in order for Dark Effigy to trigger.

Since you are converting damage to chaos damage, it won't trigger Dark Effigy.

Nothing that ignites will delve as dealing chaos damage/replace fire with chaos damage after you equip the blackflame ring.

I question whether the ring is actually converting ignite to chaos damage in the first place.

Conversion does affect the damage you "deal", but it won't help what you're trying to do.

First of all, this would probably prevent you from igniting at all. IIRC people have been reporting not being able to Ignite with Radiant Gaze and Blueflame Bracers (which converts Fire damage to Cold), so I don't think you'd be able to Ignite unless you can Ignite with Chaos damage.

Even then, Ignite would still only deal Fire Damage over Time. If you look at the in-game explanation for Damage Conversion, the last sentence is "Damage over Time cannot be converted". Even if you convert Fire damage to Chaos and Ignite with Chaos damage, the Ignite would still deal Fire Damage over Time.

I just found this ring, and in my head one of the things it can do is allow for an ignite-as-damage fire build to deal with the occasional elemental reflect map, or the odd "immune to/resistant to fire" mods at the higher levels on bosses etc.

Deadly evolution on the atlas tree has me thinking a quick ring swap might be a good thing to build for/have on hand for some fights.

I have not figured out the scenario where it is just definitely better than a chaos DOT build, but I suspect that there might be more scaling available for fire damage than for chaos, so there might be a simple case for that as a realistic option?

Too bad the totem you wanted to work into it seems to be a non-starter so far, cool idea!
