== TimeToGetIntense's Issue -- 00:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC) ==
[[User talk:Isaiah Cartwright/Elementalist/Chain Lightning#TimeToGetIntense's Discussion|Discussion]]
; Issue
: Horribly underpowered. Would be good for Air Eles if it was viable.
; Suggestion
: Lower casting time to 2 seconds, lower recharge time to 8 seconds. Increase damage to 10...82...100.

== Exhaustion and cast time are the largest problems ==

;Issue
:Exhaustion makes it useless without Glyph of Energy, 3 second cast time is prohibitive.
;Suggestion
:Lower casting time to 2 seconds, remove exhaustion, lower recharge time to 5 seconds. Increase energy to 15 so people can't spam it mindlessly without dual attune.

== Ritual{{Profession icon sizes|Ritualist|{{{1}}}}}Doll's Issue -- 11:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC) ==
[[User talk:Isaiah Cartwright/Elementalist/Chain Lightning#RitualDoll's Discussion|Discussion]]
;Issue
:Weak in it's current form, but difficult to buff do to it's spike-like nature.
;Suggestion
: {{skill data|10|2|10}}
"Spell. Target foe takes {{gr|10|85}} lightning damage. If that foe was moving, two foes near your target also take {{gr|10|85}}. This spell has 25% armor penetration."
;Reasoning
:This way, if this skill is used to spike, it will only hit one target at a time unless that foe was moving. This would require callers to be more attentive when calling their spikes. If the skill does become a problem without exhaustion, re-adding exhaustion or simply increasing the energy cost to 15 would make it less appealing.

== Something's missing here... ==
I was looking through the Elementalist skills, and noticed Air Magic doesn't have a 25-energy, super awesome skill (Meteor Shower, Maelstrom, Earthquake/Dragon's Stomp etc). I mean, it has Lightning Hammer but that's just non-projectile Lightning Orb... I think the energy on this skill should be upped to 25, but the exhaustion dropped completely. That way, this skill would be up to par with a skill like Rodgort's Invocation. Ideally, the skill would read as follows (for PvE):

[[Image:Chain_Lightning.jpg|thumb|left]]'''Chain Lightning''': [[Spell]]. [[Target]] [[Foe|foe]] and up to two other foes [[Near|near]] your target are struck for '''10...70...85''' [[Lightning damage|lightning damage]] and are blinded for '''1...3...3''' seconds. This spell has 25% [[Armor Penetration|armor penetration]]. 25{{energy}} 2 {{activation}} 8{{recharge}}.
