No. The map mod gives less recovery rate, and these are instant recovery which has no rate to modify.

I believe this not entirely true. Tinkerskin has the same wording (Recover 50 Energy Shield when your Trap is triggered by an Enemy), yet if you throw traps with Eldritch Battery the Energy Shield recover IS affected by map mods. I know this because I ran out of Energy Shield way faster in maps with Less Recovery :/

I don't think they ever said they intentionally broke the interaction, I think they just said that Vixen's wasn't made intentionally for Bane.

about the dodge reset evasion question, my understanding is the fail evasion will "hit" so -100 to entropy number but that "hit" will trigger the dodge change and if the player dodge they don't actually get hit by that inicial failed entropy hit but gain the -100 to entropy anyway, is that it?

like entropy number 92 enemy hit entropy goes to 120 player get "hit" new entropy number is 20. the "hit" is checked by dodge and the "hit" is dodged successfully, so the player takes no damage but get a new entropy number 20 not old number 92 anymore

is that it?

"10% of physical damage taken as cold damage" - If you take increased physical damage, you'll also take more cold damage. If an enemy deals x% increased physical damage from an aura, you'll also take more cold damage.

If you have Blackflame equipped and you cause an enemy to take increased fire damage, they do not take increased chaos damage.

Why does damage taken by the player differ from the way monsters take damage?

Why not change the mechanic to "Ignites inflicted by you deal chaos damage over time", since that's kind of how everyone expects it to work? Adjust the rarity of the ring if that makes it too much stronger.

Current description:

"Enemies Ignited by you take Chaos Damage instead of Fire Damage from Ignite"

I mean current wording uses "ignite" and "damage" twice already. Wouldn't following description make a little more sense and touch? :

"Ignites you inflict are taken as Chaos Damage instead of Fire Damage"

If it's not possible to self-chaos-ignite in this game whilst the ring is on than the "enemies" tag in current description is rightfully in tact and my suggestion would change to "Ignites on enemies inflicted by you are taken as Chaos Damage instead of Fire Damage". If it's not the case and you actually CAN self-chaos-ignite then what is the point of "enemies" tag in the current description? I thought "you are not enemy to yourself"... is this not what GGG stated themselves? Correct me if I am wrong
