Chain Induction and Procs

Sorry my search fu is letting me down and I can't find the answer to this despite every other thread being elec/sd ...

If you've a damage proc in chain induction does it check to see if it fires on every enemy affected by the chain or is it just the initial target?

Actually I've just noticed something about chain induction. This is the only power I can think of that a critical hit can be a disadvantage. Because the chain pseudopet doesn't summon if the initial target is killed outright I always try to cycle through a couple to find a critter healthy enough to survive the hit. If the power crits the critter is usually wiped out anyway and no chain happens.

Not sure if this qualifies as a bug - guess it's just the way things are?

I believe the chain hits are a summoned pet type attack that cannot be summoned if the initial target is defeated. That's what I've seen from my first 30 levels with Elec melee.

I don't know how procs work in the power, my IO slotting typically means I'm slotting for bonuses not procs now a days.

Well I slotted CI with a chance for knockdown proc today and that does work on the secondary hits so I would assume damage procs would also.
