Jolting Chain slotting?

Anyone tried slotting this one for End mod? It has a -10% base (I'm guessing around around -15% with 3 slots?) Not much by itself, but the power cycles so quickly, you could cycle it a couple of times with CA, SF, and CF add to the -end.

Also, does the Chance for +Recharge proc from Force Feedback only check on the first target?

The Endurance Drain only works in the first foe hit, so most folks don't feel it is work slotting for EndMod. It does not follow the chain. So far, I have been slotting it for Acc, Rech and Damage, but my Elec/Rad is only in his mid 30's. The damage is pretty minimal, but it follows the chain. With as little damage as Elec/Rad has, I figure every little bit helps.

The rule of thumb seems to be that if the proc affects you, it only checks on the first strike -- the others affect the links of the chain itself. If the proc affects enemies, then it checks each time.

On my controller, I've got the Hold proc from Devastation in there. It's not much, but it's satisfying on the occasions when it goes off three or four times in a large group.

While I have yet to do it, I was going to try;
Apocalypse - chance for damage (negative)
Devastation: chance for hold
Explosive Strike: chance for smashing damage

Mid's says its going to be 14 pts of smash, 10 pts of energy, and 35 pts of negative = 59 pts total. Which isn't that great but Jolting Chain does recharge every 5 seconds on my build so its not that horrible.

Don't you know that discussion of power selection/slotting can ONLY be based on hearsay, rumor, idle speculation, and bald-faced lies??!? ~Elf_Sniper
