Jolting Chain

How does Jolting chain work exactly? That is, will it ever return to the original target, or any other target more than once if there are less than its maximum number of targets in range,, or will it strike as many targets as possible ONCE and then defuse. How does it work if you cast it with only one target in range?

I believe it will return to the original target if there's enough mobs to jump around on. The jumps are 2 seconds apart. The same target can't be "jumped" twice within 5 seconds, so I'm guessing it would have to jump 4 times to end up back on the original target. It will return to past targets if there's not 16 to "max out" on. I doubt that it's likely, but it's possible.

If you cast it with only one target, it will hit them and stop.

I suggest you look over this thread here. It started on a different topic, but lead to the sort of thing you're asking about. If you're in a hurry skip to Arcanaville's posts.

Thanks. The damage value listed in Mid's - is that for the all its its hits totalled together, or is that the damage it does with each strike?

In Mid's it should show the damage for each hit at level 50 (9.18). IIRC, in the game it shows if all of them hit (probably close to 150, but I'm not positive).
