Skill functions and interactions

Hitting an enemy with Boneshatter will grant you a Trauma stack, giving you more damage (2% to 4%) with the skill. However, you will also take Physical Damage per Trauma stack.

Repeated attacks from Multistrike Support support will not give you additional Trauma stacks.

The damage taken per Trauma stack counts as a hit, which means that skills like Vengeance will trigger. It also allows your armour prevent some of the physical damage taken. However, the damage cannot be blocked.

Each Trauma stack counts as an individual buff, giving the skill good synergy with unique items like Mantra of Flames. This most likely occurs because each Trauma stack has its own independent duration.

With a level 20 gem and N current Trauma stacks, you will take 194*(N+1) physical damage (before damage mitigation) upon your next attack.

Damage conversions do not affect self-damage type. However, modifiers like #% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire Damage will convert the taken damage equal to the %. Trauma has no crit roll, and can only crit you if hits you take always crit you.
