Cast when Damage Taken is a support gem. It causes a linked spell to trigger when the player takes a certain amount of damage from hits.
Trigger gem: Like all trigger gems, Cast when Damage Taken only triggers and casts spells. Attack gems such as Double Strike are not considered spells. Multiple spells can be linked to a single trigger gem, and will all be triggered if so. Multiple copies of Cast when Damage Taken will also function independently.
Skill cooldowns: Skill cooldowns are not circumvented in any way.
Damage counter and trigger cooldown: Each linked spell gains an internal damage counter that tracks the total accumulated damage taken from hits, though not from damage over time or the Blood Magic passive[1] (e.g. you cannot use Righteous FireRighteous FireSpell, AoE, Fire Level: (1-20) Cooldown Time: 0.30 sec Can Store 1 Use(s) Cast Time: InstantRequires Level 16Engulfs you in magical fire that rapidly burns you and nearby enemies.

When a linked spell is cast, it is put on cooldown for 250 ms and will not track damage during that time.
Multiple copies of the same gem share cooldowns, meaning that if two copies of the same spell are triggered within 250 ms of each other, the first will trigger and the second will fail to do so as it is on cooldown. This mostly prevents using multiple copies of the same spell with Cast when Damage Taken, though the use of Cast when Damage Taken gems of different levels can avoid cooldown overlap in some circumstances due to the differing amounts of damage required to trigger the spells.
The Cast when Damage Taken gem itself does not have its own counter or cooldown.[2]
Maximum level of supported skills: Cast when Damage Taken cannot support skills with a higher player level requirement than that of Cast when Damage Taken itself. Note that this restriction only applies to active skills; any level of other support gems may be used.
Trigger order: Trigger gems and their linked skills are cast in a certain order that depends both on which item it is equipped on and which socket the skills are in. If there are trigger gems in each equipped item, the order of operation will be:
Main hand ⇒ Amulet ⇒ Helm ⇒ Off hand ⇒ Body armour ⇒ Gloves ⇒ Boots
The linked sockets also follow a specific order, as follows:
1
⇒
2
⇓
4
⇐
3
⇓
5
⇒
6
Damage effectiveness: The damage effectiveness increases with level, but so does the damage taken per cast; overall, the amount of damage that needs to be taken per damage effectiveness goes up at higher gem levels. The optimum is a level 2 gem, which requires 1442 damage taken per 100% damage effectiveness. In comparison, a level 20 gem requires 3057 damage taken per 100% damage effectiveness.
This does not, however, take into account the increase in damage from being able to use a higher level gem; for instance, a level 4 BladefallBladefallSpell, AoE, Physical, Duration Level: (1-20) Cost: (12-23) Mana Cast Time: 0.70 sec Critical Strike Chance: 6.00% Effectiveness of Added Damage: 140% AoE Radius: 12Requires Level 28Ethereal weapons rain from the sky, dealing damage to enemies in a sequence of volleys.

Right click to remove from a socket. gem deals an average of 91.5 damage, while a level 20 gem deals an average of 475. On a strict damage-in-per-damage-out basis, Cast when Damage Taken roughly triples in power between level 1 and level 20, depending on the skill used. Any flat added damage will affect this ratio—the more damage added, the less effective it is to level up the Cast when Damage Taken gem.
Targeting: Targeted spells will cast towards the enemy that caused the last damage. Reflected damage is considered to come from the enemy originally damaged. If the damage was self-caused, it will target a random enemy (if there are no enemies, it will be cast at the player, if it is a projectile, it will be fired in a random direction).[3]
Totems: Cast when Damage Taken can't be used with totems.

Cats when Damage Taken
Cats spawned by Cats when Damage Taken
Cats when Damage Taken was a trigger gem available only on April 1, 2015 as an April Fool's joke.[4] Like Cast when Damage Taken, it caused a linked spell to activate when the player accumulated damage taken, but besides casting the spell, it also summoned black cats. Other properties were identical to the Cast when Damage Taken skill.
Cast when Damage Taken Support now causes Supported Skills to deal 65% less Damage at gem level 1 (previously 70%), up to 27% less Damage at gem level 20 (previously 6% more Damage).
The Divergent alternate gem quality has changed to Supported Skills require 1% reduced amount of Damage taken to Trigger [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
Cast when Damage Taken has been added to the game.

On a strict damage-in-per-damage-out basis, Cast when Damage Taken roughly triples in power between level 1 and level 20, depending on the skill used. Any flat added damage will affect this ratio—the more damage added, the less effective it is to level up the Cast when Damage Taken gem.
