I remember there being a bug with chain attacks (Chain Induction being the only one at the time) where, when slotted with procs, the % chance of the proc going off was also put forward to the chain jump, so say you put a chance for negative damage in Chain Induction, there was then only a 20% chance that it would then jump to another target?

Now, am I going insane and that never happened, or was there a bug like that and if so, was it patched? I'm eyeing up damage procs and the like for Elec Control chains.

I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.

No you are correct. This was a bug at some point. I do believe it has been fixed with Chain Induction but I cannot verify.

I can confirm that (multiple) procs in Jolting do not break the chain. I personally believe its a great place to put the procs.

Awesome thanks for the reply. Currently planning on chance for hold and chance for end drain to build a good AoE sapper, fingers crossed it works as well as it looks on paper

No problem boss.

You read my mind. I think it will work out superbly. I'm looking at some damage procs too now that I out-leveled my preoder procs I miss them.
