I initially wanted them to trigger mainly off the coercers spell attacks since they are a mage based class. On further review though, there is just too much triggering from the hostile spell hits. When you think about it a coercer in a group will have some sort of melee class to trigger the reactive within the duration. The solo coercer will more than likely have a charmed pet or at high levels the possessed essence pet both of which will trigger Hostage as well. The old way was nice but a little too nice so this should spread things around a bit rather than huge spikes from triggering on a spell hit.
