Awakened Chain vs. Awakened Fork

Which is better for Ice Shot map clear speed? Based on the wiki and what I'm reading in posts it seems chain is better because it sort of auto aims for you, where fork travels in one general direction. But does that hold true for awakened gems or does fork become the better option then? Thanks!

I don't think the awakened versions behave in fundamentally different ways from the standard versions, so chain should still be the preference.

You can check this kind of thing on poe ninja.

Thanks, and how do you mean on poe ninja? I do use that website - I can see the more popular choices, is that what you mean?

I don't have any personal experience with Ice Shot, but I concur that chains are guaranteed to target an enemy, whereas forks fire at a fixed angle and might not hit anything, so I'd say (Awakened) Chain support is the way to go.

For Deadeye, clearly Chain is superior because of the ascendancy that provides 10% more damage per remaining chain.

However, this league I went for AGMP&Mirage Archer for clear, as Mirage Archer fires behind you as well. Chain is obviously better for most content, but not for Delirium, where you need to fire in all directions to kill the mobs you popped from the white eggs half a screen ago.
