Acolyte of Chayula Darkness works improperly with dots

This is a two part bug.

Firstly, it seems that for dots(ignite and ground fire primarily, i think it works properly with poison maybe?), the darkness will not take the damage for energy shield first, but will take it for health first. Normal hits work properly with darkness being reserved for both before taking damage to them.

Secondly, said dots seem to randomly drop darkness to 0 at certain points(rather inconsistent.) With ground fire it was doing it instantly and immediately, and with ignite it seemed rather inconsistent and worked properly some of the time but not others.

I would like to add my context to this as it is still an issue today.

After Using Darkness for a few days, I can confirm that DoTs, or at least poison DoTs, immediately drop darkness to 0. If this is intended behavior, then it should be noted in the tooltip for darkness somewhere.

I have not noticed any instance where damage is being improperly taken from energy shield before life, as bleed and poison are supposed to work that way.
