The bug where Arc stops chaining when it shatters an enemy is still around since when it got first introduced. Could this finally get fixed? This is severely crippling herald of ice with no reason at all. :(

That's a bug with all chaining I would imagine.

No body left means nothing to chain from.

No, this only happens with Arc as Arc is the only spell which has a delayed chain. All projectiles which chain instantly chain on hitting an enemy, including when shattering that enemy.

Since arc is the only spell that has an instant travel time and can chain it compensates by having a delayed chain to not hit all potential targets at the same time. This delayed chain doesn't happen when the corpse gets shattered.

Build complete. ;)

not building crit with Pledge ? Really ?

Love Arc, but it really could use prioritized targeting (as stated before). Just need to be able to aim the FIRST hit.

Gets a bit complicated with "Allies cannot die" auras, or even rare/bosses with a LOT of minions.

Even if it's been buffed and really good, I still say that arc chaining from each target would have been ship tons cooler than it is now.

Arc still is my favourite skill in POE. Its not very cool in terms of DPS, but the clear speed is wonderful. Even with 9k cursor DPS it beats my other skills on clear speed.

I solve the problems with priority with a well places Arc totem close to the "Allies cannot die" totems and bosses. Otherwise no problems. Even reflect is manageable.

Works great without it. Now I don't have to deal with putting crit on gear, the passives, the gems, building power charges... and only ending up with no more than 50% chance to crit.

5% base crit sucks, I don't want to deal with it. If I was going to make a spell crit build I would use weapon/shield that actually has crit on it (like Void battery). Pledge has no crit.

Triple Arc Toten have low damage yet :( ... around 2.5k less.
Can do some map faster but .. can't kill some bosses.

Can I kill Atziri with a self cast arc build?
