CLs damage has been quartered from what it was previously (8xx - 210) because it hits 4 times. If you missed prior to this change, you did no damage. If you miss once with this change, you will now do 3/4's of the prior damage (210+210+210+miss) rather than nothing.
It makes absolutely zero difference in overall damage.
If you cast the old Chain Lightning four times with a 25% miss rate, you'd hit three times:
840 * 3 = 2520
If you cast the new Chain Lightning four times with a 25% miss rate, you'd hit 12 times:
210 * 12 = 2520
Your logic is pomegranate.

Sarah Wrote:Also nice with the new accuracy formula. Rather than 1 miss and no damage you can get 3 hits and 3/4's the damage you would get if you had hit. Any damage is better than no damage.
She said it was 'better'.
