Reactive effects are effects which are triggered by specific events, most often by hits or blocks.
There are two different types of reactive effects:
Damage shields: These have a 100% chance to proc, but can only be triggered by melee attacks. The damage is not considered spell damage.
Reactive procs: These do not necessarily trigger off every attack. However, they are not limited to melee attacks (unless specifically mentioned otherwise). The damage inflicted is considered spell damage.
[Force Reactive Disk] - Equip: When the shield blocks it releases an electrical charge that damages all nearby enemies. This also has a chance of damaging the shield (deals 30-40 damage to enemies in a 10 yard radius each block). The item is crafted by Engineers with a skill level of 300.
[Vile Protector] - When struck in combat has a 1% chance of inflicting 105 to 175 Shadow damage to the attacker. Quest rewards from [38] Compendium of the Fallen.
[Darkmoon Card: Vengeance] - You have a 10% chance when hit by an attack or harmful spell to deal 95 to 115 holy damage to your attacker. This item can be obtained by collecting Darkmoon Faire Furies cards and assembling them into a Furies Deck.
