For people that don't understand or dislike playing the market I would imagine influence would be a factor to farm.

*Good point about PLing Silver*

Are you sure about this? Unless they fixed it recently the end drain doesn't work past the first target of the chain.

Yes you are correct Carnifax. The procs would check at every jump.

I know the guy! He's on my blocked globals list along with his friend @Hung Wei Lo

LIES....

I would have believed you had you said Plant/Storm/Ice.

"These are not the farmers you are looking for!" <Performs Jedi mind trick as Salty waves his hand at the OP>

I hated it too. At low levels I used Ice Arrow a lot. The redraw drove me nuts! I dropped Ice arrow in the later levels to focus on area control and debuffs.

To minimize the redraw I usually open with Phantom Army followed by Spectral Terror. I then fully unload all area debuffs which I finished off with Fireball to ignite OSA. I then go into clean up mode by focusing on Single Target attacks (Blind+Fire Blast+Spectral Wounds) as PA and OSA kills most of the weaker foes. Rinse and repeat based on what is available. Add a dash of [Confuse] for flavor.

Ill/TA is a fun combo but truth be told its only been holding me over until I can re-roll as Ill/Traps. One can dream right?

Out of curiosity how is your Jolting Chain and Chained Fences slotted?

Personally I believe Earth still holds the crown. Earth can easily lock down multiple spawns with little effort. It also excels at location based controls.

Most Electrics can throw out two Static Field patches best case scenario. From what I have seen KB, AoEs, and DoTs will just ruin your ability to control mobs before you have them sapped if you rely on SF. Earth doesn't have this problem. The only other form of control available for an Electric is Paralyzing Blast, Jolting Chain, Synaptic Overload, and Conductive Aura. PB is on too long a timer to reliably have it up all the time. JC is up pretty often but lacks any punch to properly control until you IO it with procs. SO is up fairly often but is ineffective if the spawn is spread out too much (JC suffers from the same issue). SO also infects a spawn at a very slow pace making it highly likely that the chain will be broken if a jump is killed. Conductive Aura lets you drain spawns fairly effectively but the problem here is you can only be in one place at one time to do so and you are limited to 8 (??) targets.

Better that Earth (or Mind) I doubt it. I don't think its even close but that's my opinion based on beta and my current Elec/Rad that is @~40.

The Pet Set IOs boost your pet's defense or resistance within a 20ft (??) radius of you....not your defense or resistance. At least that is the way I understand them to work.

From what I recall they hunted with fire by burning out sections of forests to drive out animals or cook them in it forest. Many of surviving flora have adapted to regenerate rapidly after such burnings. Its quite amazing seeing life being replenished within a day of a burning! This would only hold true for the coastline areas, the interior is primarily desert.

According to this site they did but for ceremony only: http://www.janesoceania.com/australia_aboriginal_mythology/index1.htm

<Insert Salty's obligatory fanboi rant on how awesome Ill/TA/Fire is and how it fits an arcane trickster theme if you can get over the "tech" look and sounds of some of the arrows.>

Most procs you put in Jolting Chain will check at every jump. I havent test the Endmod IO sets procs of the FF proc, but I do know the preorder damage IOs work as does the KB damage proc. I know the -end, the hold procs from the Ranged Damage IO sets also work. I havent done enough testing to see if this holds true for any secondary chains that branch off the first one.

Thanks. I only ask because I suspect it will only have a chance to benefit the player upon casting. After that I suspect it will only benefit the pseudo pet that continues the chain effects.

I hope I am wrong and was hoping that you had tested this with different results

I would vote Miracle followed by Numi. I didn't see the Performance Shifter proc on the list which would be my next choice followed by the Theft of Essence proc.

I love the Theft of Essence proc but more often that not it returns enough end to pay off Dark Regen so I break even, which isn't a bad thing. Don't get me wrong I have seen it fill my end bar from near zero to full with one heal.

No question!

Depends on which procs you are specifically talking about. The damage procs follow through each of the jumps. Some of the other types of procs behave a little differently.

It seems shorter that that. I'll wait until they are done patching this release before I start looking at this more closely, but I hope we are not getting short changed here.

Do you know if the -recovery is supposed to propagate through all its jumps?

This is what I love about this power. I'm glad its WAI.
