Cast when Stunned is a support gem that grants supported spells a chance to trigger when the player is stunned or blocks a stunning hit.
Different spells supported by Cast when Stunned are independent: when the character is stunned or blocks a stunning hit, each supported spell rolls its own chance to trigger, and each spell that succeeds its chance check will trigger and go on its own cooldown. Because multiple copies of the same spell (or a transfigured variant) with the same trigger share a cooldown, supporting duplicate spells with Cast when Stunned will only result in two chance rolls, never two triggers.
Triggered spells will target the location of the enemy that stunned the player. Skills that don't target a location like Ice NovaIce NovaSpell, AoE, Cold, Nova Level: (1-20) Cost: (8-23) Mana Cast Time: 0.70 sec Critical Strike Chance: 6.00% Effectiveness of Added Damage: (200-230)% AoE Radius: 30Requires Level 12A circle of ice expands from the caster.Deals (23-988) to (34-1481) Cold Damage Base radius is (2.6-3) metres

Cast when Stunned cannot cause spells to trigger from self-damage, as this cannot stun.

It does not grant a bonus to your character, but to skills in sockets connected to it. Place into an item socket connected to a socket containing the Skill Gem you wish to augment. Right click to remove from a socket., Cast when Stunned compares favorably in several regards: it has no damage penalty, no cost multiplier, no gem level limitations, and a lower cooldown. However, whether its condition is easier or harder to fulfill depends on the player's life, mitigation, and stun modifiers like ValyriumValyrium Moonstone RingRequires Level 38+(15-25) to maximum Energy Shield+(30-40) to maximum Energy Shield +(30-40)% to Fire Resistance -40% to Cold Resistance Stun Threshold is based on Energy Shield instead of LifeThey will rise and fall in fire and blood..
Builds that want to be reliably stunned would ideally want at least one of the following:
100% cold damage taken as non-cold damage - this method is non-conditional and more reliable, but requires more investment through specific equipment or jewels.
