Striking is when you hit (ie. you don't miss), attacking is when you swing.

Yes, but what good would that do?

IIRC 1.10 changed that. They're essentially the same now, but on attack doesn't work on ranged attacks at all.

I find that "on attack" stuff requires you to actually be swinging at something, not just the air.. I had a CTC FBall on attack (i think... it may have been lightning) and a baddy behind bars in the catacombs... I swung for a long while... I guess it could have been extraordinarily bad luck... but I doubt it.

Itīs about disapparance of class identity. You donīt need to play pally to have up to three auras simultaneously - just LOL.
