Crystal Golems are applying the Shock status to my character when I use Spirit Plague on them or on enemies near them (because it eventually spreads to them).
The Crystal Golem’s text reads: “Shocks Attackers When Hit”. Spirit Plague is not a hit, so it shouldn’t be applying the Shock debuff to my character. the debuff Plague applied by Spirit Plague is also not a hit.
I also tested it with Aura of Decay and found that Shock is also being applied to my character and I haven’t take the node that applies Plague. Applying any type of poison to the Crystal Golem results in my character taking the Shock debuff.
