Charge On Kill and Overcharged

Do these work with:
- Projectile skills & spells?
- Chain or Echo skills & spells?
- minion, totem, trap, & mine kills?

I'm thinking of making an "All Three Charges" build, but haven't been able to try these nodes out for very long. It seemed like only direct spells & attacks worked during that short time.

I'm trying to understand stuff so:
Let's say I have Pious Path, inquisitor ascendancy that gives 4% es regen on cons ground, that adds to cons ground itself and becomes with zel's oath 8% max es regen/s
If I add %increased es recovery/recharge how does that add to this 8%?
Also, I read somewhere that %increase recharge also affects the recovery of ES, but in the tooltip it doesn't seem so
Is that a "hidden sinergy" or just plain wrong information?
From what I've looked it seems that it isn't shown on character sheet but I'd like to know how to calculate it.
For exemple I have 25.5 es recovery, I equip a jewel with recharge charge, in the sheet recharge goes up while recovery doesn't.
But while on consecrated ground my recovery is good, so the actual question is: how much does %increased es recharge rate influence the actual recovery?
Case I have the 8% recovery on cons ground, so if I add like a 10% inc recharge, does the recovery also goes up by the increased 10 or does that only work on the 25.5 base recovery and not the 8% gained from the buff?
Feel free to pm me if I haven't been clear enough and thanks in advance ^^

Another question today.. Let's say I want to do something really hipster and make a melee occultist focusing on bleed using Haemophilia gloves.
Will both the on kill effect of the gloves:
"Bleeding Enemies you Kill Explode, dealing 5% of their Maximum Life as Physical Damage"
AND the on kill effect of Occultist's "Profane Bloom" apply?:
"Cursed Enemies you Kill have a 20% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage"

I feel like stacking these could be cool but if only 1 of them will actually apply the build goes out the window. I wasn't sure if 1 would overwrite the other.

Thanks!

Why does the 25% chance to make consecrated ground on kill from the Inquisitor note Sanctify, not work with totems?

If i spec out of ancestral bond i can make consecrated ground all over the place, but with totems, nothing :/

If we take everything the game developers have ever said for face value, then on-kill effects are not considered offensive stats for some reason. My guess is that it is a technical limitation.

Funny enough, there's a very old bug you could use to get around the rule; if enemies are killed by Damage over Time your player character always gets the kill credit, so presumably that will let your totems spread consecrated ground as well. Maybe you can give it a try with Southbound unique gloves plus some way of igniting enemies.

Will shock chance be applied to non-crits while using the Starforge (your physical damage can shock) and conductivity's "10-15% chance to shock with lightning damage"?
Edit: I need to add more info to make this question valid...
Starforge does not allow you to deal elemental damage with attacks. There would be no lightning damage present to shock with. But the Starforge allows for shocking with its physical. I also cannot crit because of resolute technique. So will conductivity's shock chance apply to the starforge's "can shock with physical"? No crits, no elemental damage in the equasion

Yes

The only special thing about crits and status ailments is that they are granted 100% "Chance to X;" otherwise, they just give their extra damage + visual/audio effect, and are otherwise treated like non-crits (which means Chance to X stat is pointless on crits anyways :P, so they are necessarily either useless or applied to non-crit damage)
