Elemental proliferation

"Elemental Proliferation" redirects here. For the support gem, see Elemental Proliferation Support.

Elemental proliferation is a modifier that makes hits apply status ailment debuffs as auras to targets; these debuff auras have the same effects and durations as the original debuffs. Nearby enemies affected by these auras do not gain the auras, because only a target that has received a status ailment – as a result of being hit – can gain them. These auras are considered as status ailments, which means there can be more than one proliferation effect on the same target at the same time, but only the strongest one will present itself. The exception to this is if status ailments are allowed to stack, as is the case with EmberwakeEmberwake

Since status ailments (ignite, chill and shock) stay on corpses after death, debuff auras also stay and spread their effects to enemies around these corpses for the ailment's duration, or until the corpses are destroyed (e.g. shattered due to being frozen, detonated or raised).

Ground effects such as burning or chilling ground do not count as status ailments and therefore will not be proliferated.
