its cool. I like it!

so my test was using the dummies at war camp, and aimin at middle one throw great chain, then follow up with burninate, and it surprised me in nicest way... it doesnt just apply damage of the first burning hit, but carries the burning effect over to other targets kinda like
mimicking the decimation bow's locate special
(so the other dummies sat there burn, burn, burn). I feel like I got more using wild magic as a follow up to great chain than I did using the ulimate ability 4 element shot (sorry just forgot what thats called), but I didnt jot down the numbers. I think its cause both shots of wild magic came over?

what I'm not sure of and wouldnt testify to without recording and playing back in slow motion and comparing/contrasting... I think that Sacrifice healing might give you back more than 100% of your damage dealt if it kills the primary target spreading out to as many as 6 more targets taking half damage so that like... you would heal 400% of your damage.

good question. on the dummies I didnt bring caroming cause I just used the 3 at death's camp, and while not 7 targets it is an easy test anyone can do. turn revo off, throw great chain, then throw combust (nee burninate), and observe the burning effect carry over.

I have caroming 4 and lunging 4 to test with, but when I went to mob fight I brought limitless air with scav 4 (and BOG that gave me even more components for ash scatterings) and tried to see if revo chain to sacrifice was healing me more, and I think it did, but Ive upgraded a bunch of things since last there like EOF necklace, so its a little hard to swear to it.

I notice that the vtuber hype has been for ricochet, but I loathe the stuttering sticky slowth of using ricochet. Chain flows out quick, hits everything at once, and ricochet takes an extra second or so to hit all of its targets. Im not saying the greater ability is about ricochet itself, but the follow up ability, and thats interesting, but I tend to go battlemage for mobs where I would even use ricochet... so for me... I leapt at chain, and ricochet is the codex I would save for future upgrades.
