Many of the old mechanics threads are no longer there.
I was wondering wether Strongarm Bracers proc on the hit that applies knockback, or only after the knockback and therefore the 2nd hit?
In my particular case I was wondering about the Fist of Heavens - Reverbation mechanic.
Would the Strongarm bonus damage apply on the first cast or only on subsqeuent casts?
Similar question for the legendary gem Bane of the trapped. Would this one trigger on the first hit (since enemies are knocked back and slowed) or only on subsequent casts?
On diablo fandom com it says:
As of patch 2.5.0, the damage buff triggers when the Knockback occurs, not when the enemy lands.
One can still get a lot of answers by googling (for example: diablo 3 strongarm bracers proc). Of course some results may be outdated or wrong.
Now the next question would be, does FoH - Reverbation apply the knockback first or the damage?
I’m not sure…
Icy Veins fist of heavens build uses Strongarms but not the reverberation rune. It uses another skill to trigger strongarms…

yeah since this rune is not the meta choice it’s hard to find actual mechanics on it.
I made a topic about it in Crusader forum with a link to this topic. Maybe one of the experts can help.
