Love this skill but in terms of end game it’s just not quite there. Please please let the the next sorc Unique be a Chain Lightning based one.
Also has anyone managed to get a Spark based build that is halfway decent in the pit this season?
Upvote.
It needs to accomplish one thing, and one thing only: Give CL decent single target DPS for bossing.
I agree I had a blast with cl sorc last season but it needed the construct.
I’ll sign a petition for a CL bump

You would think that a skill that can only hit one unit per bounce would do great single target, but it actually sucks at it. And it doesn’t help that it has two weak aspects that just make it sustainable and don’t boost it’s damage at all. (Yea i get that more bounces is more damage, but it doesn’t scale at all into endgame)
The skill choices are between crackling energy and a damage increase each bounce, which barely does anything because the base damage is so low there’s not much to increase. (FYI at 5% per bounce, on a single target, if you start with a 25k chain lightning, it only adds about 20k damage because only every other bounce does damage)
And it sucks because chain lightning is really fun to play, you just cant get very far into endgame with it because it just tickles bosses compared to every other build. I can clear trash super easily with it, and then bosses are just a brick wall.
