When using the Backlash rune for Mantra of Evasion, what does "a chance" mean?
Successfully dodging an attack has a chance to create a burst of flame dealing X% weapon damage as Fire to all nearby enemies.

for some reason I thought it was 50%, but I can't find the source – l I May 31 '12 at 3:20

after playing around with it more, I think it triggers 100% of the time, but has a cooldown during which it can't trigger no matter how often you dodge. I'll do some more testing later. – l I Aug 27 '12 at 19:58

@yx. very interesting. I look forward to hearing more. – user9983 Aug 28 '12 at 2:15
No one (outside of Blizzard) knows currently. There are other abilities that simply say "a chance to..." for other classes too.
Hopefully when the Diablo 3 official game guide on the battle.net site gets updated from its current state of "basic" to some sort of "advanced", questions like this will be answered.

1I wouldn't count on it, sadly. Blizzard seems obsessed with Security by Obscurity. – Raven Dreamer May 31 '12 at 4:03
