"% skill effect on attack / being struck mod"
 
   I read in some posts that patch 1.09b (or is it "c"?) introduced a bug that made those mods ineffective.
That surprised me some, because I couldn't remember experiencing it. Oh, I remembered about some uniques being bugged and actually experienced it the short while I was using lava gouts (basically, in some games they worked fine, in others they didn't).

I started playing again on Bnet 2-3 weeks ago and found some items with that mod. (esp. a rare war sword with 5% amp damage) and they worked fine so that got me a little confused.
Then I quickly grew disgusted with the Bnet crowd again, and went back to single-player. Today I gambled two such items and equipped them.
None of them works. You can see the skill graphics for a split second, but no effect.

So it seems clear that this is a case of a single-player mode only bug.

   The 'bug' is in patches 1.09c and 1.09d. It did apply on the realms for a few weeks before it was fixed there.

At Phrozen Keep you can find the 1.09b DLLs that you can download and use to re-enable this effect. Just make sure that you back up the 1.09d DLLs for swaping out to play on the realms or any furture patch upgrades.

   I have been bugged for a couple of months now about the fact that my "%chance to cast" items were not working in single-player. I had considered uninstalling and re-installing the program and patching with 1.09b, but that would have cut me off the realms, not to mention being a time-consuming PITA.

When I read your post, I immediately went over to Phrozen Keep and downloaded the 1.09b DLLs. I found to my great delight that by swapping one DLL file, I can revert to 1.09b and have all the "%chance to cast" items working again in single-player, and swapping it again lets me play on the realms. I now have the best of both worlds! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you!
