Suggestion for the new Inextricable Fate unique boots

I recently got my feet in a pair and was disappointed that it didn't work exactly how I expected. Currently, "all damage inflicts poison" only applies to your own damage, not your minions or other players. I presume this also means that the 3 grasping vines you get when crit do not make you vulnerable to 100% poison infliction from enemies.

My testing was done using a holy relic and auto attack. Enemies with grasping vines did not get poisoned from my holy relic's nova; only my auto attacks.

My suggestion is to make the grasping vines make all damage from all sources poison, including minions, other players, etc. And as a further interesting downside, the grasping vines you get from being crit with the boots on also make enemy hits poison you.

As it stands I don't see much niche for these boots. Maybe makes stuff like bizzard crown viable for poison builds. Base stats wise it's already fairly decent for a unique (good life, movement speed, base type) but the gimmick could use more broad appeal.

My suggestion for the boots: make them just drop as 10 alch shards instead. Save players the time and inventory space.

Your idea is an improvement, but honestly... why even bother trying to fix something this terrible? You'd have to completely change them into a different item to make them viable, and at that point they aren't the same boots anymore.
