New counterattack skills in 1.3.0

Do we consider the new gems Vengeance, Riposte and Reckoning to be Trigger Gems? According to our definition, Trigger Gems are support gems that activate other linked gems, while the aforementioned counter-attacks are active gems that trigger themselves. Although they do have the Trigger keyword, the support trigger gems do not. If it were up to me, the new gems do not belong on this page. But what do the others think?--Climmels (talk) 19:40, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

That's a good point. If we don't consider these skill gems "trigger gems", then we need to figure out what how to classify them. If we do think they should be referred to as trigger gems, then we need to rewrite the article to account for that. I haven't seen the new skills in game yet, so I don't personally have an opinion either way as of now. —Vini (t|c) 22:09, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
The original six gems now have the trigger keyword. I think, as a keyword, trigger should describe all 9. This is similar to the way totem (or trap or mine) keyword works: the keyword is on totem active skills, and also a support which makes other active spells into totems. --Qetuth-(talk) 10:45, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
Also, Category:Trigger Gems should be moved to Category:Trigger support gems, and this page should probably be moved to Trigger skills I think. --Qetuth-(talk) 02:58, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
