How does Chain Affinity/Chain [Element] work?

General Discussion General Discussion

Does Chain [ELEMENT] damage proc off the initial target with X% Weapon Damage and then bounce to another target if one is nearby, or does it only deal X% Weapon Damage to the initial target if another target is within 3m, thus triggering the Chain [ELEMENT] effect?

(Note: I’ve scoured the forums and all I’m finding are specific complaints about potential issues with Chain attacks but I can’t seem to find any definite statement regarding how the proc works, so I figured I should ask here to not only find an answer, but so the answer is accessible for anyone who may have the same question in the future)

Chain [ELEMENT] damages on the first target, then will bounce to do additional damage to other, nearby (3m) targets. But it was recently bugged and is not working on the dummies, however I can confirm it is working on NPCs that you fight as well as players. The 3m range is short though, I believe it used to be 5m.
