The Wizard's skill Electrocute is a bolt of chain lightning, which (without runes) hits one target, and can jump to two additional targets. There are numerous other skills that can hit multiple enemies - the Wizard's Shock Pulse, the Wizard's Disintegrate, and the Demon Hunter's Chakram are more examples. Also, some attacks hit the same enemy multiple times on a single use of the skill.

Does each "injuring" of an enemy generate an on-hit effect? How do multiple-hit or multiple-opponent-hit skills interact with on-hit effects like chance to stun, life on hit, and class resource generation?

  • The percentage you get of your life on hit varies based on the skill, but yeah, it triggers for each enemy hit. For example, for barbarian skills, see this chart

For attacks that hit multiple enemies, Yes.

I haven't explicitly tested all on-hit effects. I will update this answer as I do.

Life on hit: Confirmed. With a +2 life on hit weapon equipped, I often saw healing popups of +6, +8, +10, etc while using area attacks that hit multiple targets.

Chance on hit to fear: Confirmed. Using Deadly Reach I saw two enemies get feared and run away.
