Sneak preview of 0.9.13 features

I wonder how the pierce mechanism for projectiles will work with chaining projectiles.

will projectiles only chain if they pierce?

if it doesn't, it seems to me like the chain projectiles will make pierce obsolete because i would think that projectiles which bounce to another enemy will be more reliable than projectiles which go through an enemy only to find no one behind. (not to mention the animation will probably be better!)

Maybe they will chain and pierce in the same time. Along those lines: projectile hits enemy 1. If there is an enemy 2 behind, it will pierce thru nr1 and hit nr2 and then chain to nr3. If there is no enemy behind nr1, it will chain to an enemy nr3 that is next to nr1. If there's a nr4 behind nr3, it will pierce after chaining, otherwise it chains to another enemy, etc.

Arc = Chain lightning? i love chain lighting.
Chaining projectiles + Fireball = Chain fireball? how will that work? :D or lightning arrow + chaining projectiles. will it hit the first target and explode for its aoe damage and then fly to the next target and explode again? :)

or will chaining projectiles bevery limited on abilities that can aoe?

in any case, these new gems sound sweet :)
As an active user of a Spark build I welcome this patch with Arc! Hooray!

Any hints at where we might get said skill gem? :)

Lightning Arrow already has a "Chaining" like effect, when you hit a target, if there is another close by, the attack has a chance to jump to them and do damage on them as well. Great in tight packs.

I imagine using Chaining Projectiles on it wouldn't be completely wasted but would leave the support slightly redundant with the skill, although that's not necessarily a bad thing (from what Charan said about Arc, it might actually be pretty epic).
