1. The damage listed is the total damage chain induction will do to all targets. If you look at the power in the character editor it will say it does X damage multiple times (aka to each target) which adds up to that ludicrous number your seeing.|

Power info on Mids states it last 120 seconds. What part last 120 second? Does it gives 5% recovery for every target hit for 120 seconds? 4- Does recharge buffs (namely SB, Adrenaline boost) affect pets (Troller pets, Lore pets and Patron Pets). |
2. I believe Infridgidate does stack. Although, some powers are wacky and won't stack with themselves. Will need clarification
3. The +Recovery lasts for 2 minutes (120 seconds)
4. Recharge does not affect the pet's powers in any way (sadly).
Whining about everything since 2006.
Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

According to City of Data, none of the effects of Infrigidate will stack from the same caster.

I dont understand. CI hits one target, if there is another one (very close and behind'ish) it will jump on it, and on another and another etc... Iv never noticed the power to have reduce efficiency the more target it affects. Iv also seen it jump a LOT of times for exemple when I herd a huge pack and mobds tend to follow me in a tight line.| 1. The damage listed is the total damage chain induction will do to all targets.

Why character creation panel would give a number for multiple target when it doesnt do that on every other AoE powers.

The Real Numbers info on most (all?) chain type powers are broken due to the odd mechanics used to implement them. Chain Induction can hit up to 5 targets. And somehow due to the implementation I believe it actually looks like 5 separate attacks to Real Numbers and it adds them up the same way it adds up the Smashing and Energy for an Energy Blast attack (for example).|

For Consume the +Recovery actually only lasts 15s, but at 5%/target hit. The END Drain Res is the only part that lasts the full 120s.

After test CI's DPA is somewhere between Charged Brawl and Gloom. So nowhere near the whooping 44 DPA on the character sheet. its not a bad attack but the recharge necessary to reach CI/CB/Gloom/CB is wait too high to make it worth it.
