On a 151 necklace - "Slaying enemies increases your highest secondary by 7 for a brief amount of time, stacking up to 10 times."
Lasts 20 seconds, and appears to add stacks from any enemy slain, including level 1 critters. I cannot confirm whether or not the secondary stat buff scales with the item level of the crafted item

It seems to have been nerfed, or is bugged (more likely the former I'd guess). The tooltip on a 262 ring says "Slaying enemies increases your highest secondary by 20 for a brief amount of time, stacking up to 10 times." But it actually increases the stat by only 13-14 and stacks up to 5 times (13, 27, 41, 54, and 68). They have updated the tooltip to correctly reflect this change.

Edit: I just did a dungeon and rarely got the buff. It seems that you need to have the killing blow for it to proc.

If anyone wonders - it only procs off your killing blows so you won't have 5 stacks a lot in a dungeons. In my M+ runs I could get 2 stacks, rarely 3, most of the time just 1 when I landed a KB. I used it in my trinket 262 lvl, gives 11 versa per stack. Not much lol

does it stack additionally if on different pieces of armor, eg wrist and chest?

On Shadowlace Leggings (262):

"Equip: When you kill an enemy that yields experience or honor, your highest secondary skill is increased by 11 for 20 sec, stacking up to 5 times."

Update 10.1: these are significantly nerfed it seems. At 117 (lv55+) these give only two stats per stack, meaning for a full set 26 * 5. Comparing that to the actual amounts we have now at lv55 in heirloom / level relevant gear, it's perhaps 5% at best. Add to that that the quest gear keeps scaling in any relevant questing zone, and it's not worth the effort.

This effect is incredible whilst leveling! At least, assuming you're doing significant amount of solo content. The other Progenitor effects are too situational whilst leveling, compared to this being consistent. I decided to craft 12 pieces for my monk, eight leather pieces, two rings, a neck and a cloak. You can add the Alchemy trinket if applicable. Costs may vary, but given I had all crafts myself, it's not that expensive (equivalent of about two heirloom upgrades). I used Missive of Versatility, choose a different missive if you want a different stat but Versatility works two-fold whilst leveling.

You can decide to craft it for lv50 or lv55:
Level 50: Novice Crafter's Mark: at ilvl87, each stack gives 39 stats for a total of 195 at five stacks. This is about 20% Versatility at level 50.
Level 55: Crafter's Mark I: at ilvl117. Quantity of stats still unknown.

After fully leveling the monk which had the lv50 set, I think it's more efficient to craft this for lv55 instead. I noticed the items became too low item level as I got to 57-58 (mainly agility and stamina) so swapped to quest gear. Ilvl 117 will last you till lv60. In comparison, 50-55 is faster than 55-60 anyway: stats scale better and the Maw intro gives a fixed level for relatively little effort.
