Immune to Passive Damage?

Isnt the whole point of a passive effect, to not be counted as an active buff/debuff? To bypass certain nodes/immunities?
Whats the point of making a passive effect if it cant be placed regardless?

Passive effects are usually meant to bypass non passive equivalent effects, but there's a difference between "passive" and "Passive" in this game. They can really do whatever they want to a "Passive" ability and still be within the realm of logic.
They wanted a node that would make people use someone besides Nimrod ad the go-to mutant killer.
Since the bulk of his damage comes from the passive shocks on his sp2, they threw that node on there to keep him as a viable, but far less than ideal option.
But truth is most people just used Warlock, the OG mutant killer.
