Does this mean that those of who do not get the benefit of Chaos damage impunity should also get some adjustments to our chaos vulnerability?

You made your choice. Your life force sux.

I think you have misunderstood the point. Those who choose to take Chaos Inoculation have done so under the premise that their Energy Shield now essentially represents their health pool. That comes with quite a few drawbacks to only counter one thing. If you were to map out the pros and cons of taking CI, they would look like this:

Pros
1. Immune to Chaos Damage

Cons
1. No HP beyond your ES
2. No HP flasks
3. No in combat regeneration without the use of 1 or 2 other Keystones which spread you thin on the passive tree
4. Status ailments (stun, shock, burn, freeze, and chill) are reliant on your unmodified HP, which is garbage because you took no HP nodes
5. Extreme gear dependency, almost requiring perfect rolls

So when you say, "you made your choice," you are absolutely correct, and that is my point. It is a choice people have to make, but in order to build a truly efficient build, it isn't much of a choice at this point. If you take CI right now, you are hindering yourself more than helping. If someone can prove that wrong I'd be happy to see it.

You could also add in to the "Pro's"...

ES regeneration can be reduced to approx 1.5 sec delay and regens at 100(or more) ES per second.
