Lightning Enchanted, how this works exactly?

1. Does charged bolts trigger every time monster is hit, every time smb attacks him or do they act in yet another mysterious manner (what seems to happen in my games)?
2. Does charged bolts suffer from some sort of next delay (which should prevent getting hit by all of them at once) or do they not?
3. I noticed, that freezing LE monsters by assasin`s BoI prevents them from enchanting (at least most of the time). Chilling also does seem to help, but I have no idea how, could someone enlighten me on this matter?

Thanks in advance

1. They trigger every time the monster is hit, whether by a melee, ranged, physical, elemental, or magic attack.

2. There's no delay as far as I can tell; they just trigger for every time the monster gets hurt (OW and psn damage don't trigger it as they are hurt every second or so).

3. As far as I know, cold damage will hurt them all the same, and the only thing that frost will do is slow them down and slow their attack speeds down.

For clarification, I meant this feature (I think it`s called nextdelay) that prevents target from being hit by projectiles suffering from nextdelay for a certain amount of time. For example if I, as an assasin, charge up CoT (2 charges) and PS (3 charges), then I will release nova and chaos ice bolts which both suffer from next delay of 4 frames. Result will be such, that monsters standing nearby will be hit by either nova or one of the ice bolts, not all of this.

3. As far as I know, cold damage will hurt them all the same, and the only thing that frost will do is slow them down and slow their attack speeds down.

I`m not 100% sure, as I play via TCP/IP mostly, but I would say that LE monsters, who get frozen don`t release chbolts when hit.
As for chilling you may be right, but I seem to die much more when fighting beetles, after I dropped my rare claw with cold dmg (only source of it) and replace it with bartuks (no cold dmg)

- They release bolts everytime they are hit.
- Poison doesn't trigger lightning enchanted. All other forms of attack, such as physical, elemental or magic will.
- Even if a light enchanted monster is slowed down by cold, slow target item or even holy freeze, he will still release charged bolts at same speed. Only his own movement/attack speed is slowed.
- With 1.10 Multishot/Light enchanted bosses was fixed.

One question about Fire/Cold Enchanted/Spectral Hit monsters in conjunction with LE -

It would seem that the bolts harbor other elemental damage, is this true?

For example, when doing Hell Baal runs and Bartuc the Bloody is both LE and Cold Enchanted, when I got hit by one of the bolts I took cold damage too. (No, he wasn't HF)

Or also when the 4th wave hit and that big gargoyle lookin guy (I can't remember his name) was both LE and Spectral Hit, I suffered poison damage when I crossed paths with the bolts.

Or am I just crazy - it was on 56.6k dial-up, so lag and desynching could be an issue.

Elemental, and other, enchantments are carried through whatever type of attack or damage monsters deal (there may be some exceptions, but I'm unsure). This includes mana burn, fire enchanted, cursed, etc. Yes, it's bull**** that you get hit by a fireball and take cold damage, but that's the way Blizzard wants it.

There is a delay in LEs mitting charged bolts. I used charge with a Shadowfang repeatedly on Bremm to stagger him back (while everyone playing with me was getting beat down) and only when he was midway through recovery animation did the bolts fire; I was still quite a distance away from him. The cold damage slows their recovery as well, so I'm thinking you may get a split second extra time to either kill them before bolts are emitted or move just enough not to take damage. Shadowfang has that cold damage as well, making charge just that much more effective on LEs.
