When Struck

Skills	% Chance to Cast	Charges	Oskills	Aura When Equipped

% Chance to Cast When Struck is applied whenever the user is hit by a melee attack (excluding charging Claw Vipers and Reanimated Horde), a missile attack applying weapon or monster damage, persistent traps or fires, or exploding barrels. Not applied by missiles which only apply their own damage or skill damage. Most of the applicable missile attacks are intuitive (the user is hit by a visible arrow, bolt, dart, javelin, quill or throwing weapon), but others are less obvious: Tainted lightning orbs Skeleton Mage bolts Lightning Spire bolts Willowisp lightning bolts Imp fire bolts Claw Viper missiles Succubus and Stygian Witch bolts Not applied by returned damage or death explosions.

Skills are cast in a variety of ways:
