Trigger is a skill behavior that causes a skill's effect to occur during certain conditions, instantly without the need of manually casting socketed skills.
Triggers may come from the skill itself, unleashing a secondary skill if its conditions are satisfied, or they can be triggered by the meta skill they are socketed into, if it has enough energy.
