Anyone know if Chain Induction has been fixed?
Does it still take XP away?

Chain Induction works perfectly now. There are no bugs with the power now.
The XP problem was dealt with a long time ago. The proc bug was dealt with this issue.

Thanks.
Any suggestions on use, then?
Never had it before because of the bug...

Chain Induction is a great attack. Even against a single target it is good DPA, if you can ignore the endurance cost. Actually, it is the best single target DPA attack Elec/ gets. If it hits multiple targets, then it is golden. Yes, the second, third and forth strikes are delayed and will be canceled if the target dies before the strike happens, but in my experience the subsequent strikes go off more often than not. But like I said, it is good DPA even against a single target, so even if the subsequent strikes don't happen, it isn't a wasted attack. Personally I'd skip Thunder Strike before I'd skip Chain Induction.

As far as usage... I hit it every time it is up. It is part of my normal single target attack chain. If it hits multiple targets, then that is just icing on the cake. I do try to prioritize targets with more health though, so they are more likely to survive long enough for it to arc off them.

So does it still snag xp from you?
Doesn't sound like it...

Correct, you get proper XP. There's no reason to skip the power now. Just get in the habit of targeting someone not on the verge of death with it. When I was playing my Elec, it was like a minigame seeing how many times I could get it to jump.
