Before your all left on break, you made an update to the game and more specifically on chain and jagged perks.
You made it so that elemental chain will charge your ultimate. Thats great.
Except you completely broke chain in PVP.
I have a Thwarting Strikes, Refreshing Move, Chain Arcane axe.
The chain arcane NEVER once procs to anyone else in the war. It will do damage to the target I hit, but it will never chain to any nearby target, not even 1 meter away.
It doesnt even chain to dummies anymore. It always did in the past. Those dummies in the war camp before a war on the attack side…theres 4 of them. Chain USED to proc of the dummies. It no longer procs to any and this behavior is carried over into the rest of pvp.
Please fix chain. I dont even know if you all know its broken.
Right now chain is acting like a much worse version of attunement. It only works on 1 target, does less damage, doesnt work on abilities and procs at half the rate of attunement.
Chain, shirking, etc, all these conditional damage perks are strictly worse than attunement.
It’s not even balanced by being significantly better if you meet their conditions, they’re just straight up worse even if you meet their conditions.
Attunement - mash left mouse button, do most damage.
Chain - do less damage on 2 second cooldown.
Shirking - wait for attack, correctly time dodge, wait for dodge animation to end, attack once, wait for attack again to correctly time dodge.
Any conditional attack buff should do as much damage on average as a mindless left click attack buff so long as you are meeting the more difficult conditions needed to proc it.
