Rextroy One-Shots: There's Something Different About the Shaman PvP Version of Chain Lightning

Rextroy discovers something interesting about a Shaman PvP talent. More toads were sacrificed to get the most out of Ride the Lightning. Ride along as Rextroy figures out how and why it works.

The first thing about it, is that it's a raid boss ability being cast, not the actual chain lightning that shamans usually have. The reason I say this is because every single jump in the chain, increases the damage by 50%. Which is typical for the chain lightning that most raid instance NPCs to use.

The second broken thing about it, is that it will be boosted by EVERY single Chain lightning modifier, which includes Maelstrom Weapon, Stormkeeper as well as 50% from the Chains of Devastation Legendary. The usual Chain Lightning won't be able to consume both Maelstrom and Stormkeeper at the same time!

This is not even including all the main stat increases we are able to obtain. The hard part of the combo, is to make the main target be hit by the third jump of the lightning.

To make this possible, we took advantage of Gently Squeezed Toad. We summoned one, as we were running towards our target, and a second one as we reached them!
