on topic: "cast when damage taken" sounds a bit over the top. maybe change it to "cast when critical damage taken"?

Cast on Death, interesting. Unless there's going to be a super rare resurrection gem I doubt that will be used in HC/Nem.

Awesome gems, very happy to see Cast on Crit.

It's monster death, not player death

It is cast on player death. We don't really expect this one to be too popular in Hardcore.

guess it'll be used in pvp :D

I don't expect it to be popular at all. I for one will never, ever use it. While I don't play hardcore, I hate dying and see dying as a failure. Creating a build or gimmick attack around this gem is planning to fail. Dying/failing should not yield success.

Having said this, I suppose the gem could be interesting in PvP.

cast on death + portal?

Hmmm.... lol... interesting... and I just got done saying I'd never use it.

Oct. 23rd can't come soon enough!

regarding the death-gem, if it can be used for minions, then linking with a summon skelly/zom/spectre to essentially 'recast' itself might be possible? The sc portal is genius too :) I didn't think about that ...

I hope you realize it's not a 100% chance to cast these, right? :P

There will be a passive tree wipe correct?

Yep

Now please tell me the bandit reward respecs are facilitated in 1.0.

I'm also curious if those trigger gems stack
can I make a tank with Wand with high spell dmg and have 5 x trigger on dmg taken in all my items ? for example trigger on dmg + frost nova + shock nova + iron will on all my gear. Will that give me option for 5 frost and shock novas casted at once ?

Edit : do those trigger gems work on secondary weapon sets ? I assume not , but oh man if they did ......

let me put it this way: if it's more than 10% in a 20/20 gem - it's too much.
and if it's triggered by Damage Over Time as well, better get rid of the gem altogether.

cast on crit taken - on the other hand - can be 50% or more, without any problems.
