Yes. But I've never found the extra damage worth the staggering price of pressing that extra button.

Does Ice demons and Glacial chain DoT stack?

While using teleport mastery upwards repeatedly, Glacial Chain, Chain Lightning, Chain Lightning, repeat. There's less of a cooldown between the second Chain Lightning and Glacial Chain I've noticed - And you can throw in an Ice Demon in place of Glacial Chain to increase your DoT.

Alternating GC followed by CL followed by GC and so on. GC is currently immensely stronger than CL.

[quote=monty007]How much did you hit per line with 26k range?[/quote]With Chain Lightning + the hyper I was seeing non crits do a minimum of 100k (generalization; just going by the fact that I never saw it do only 5 digits) with crits averaging close to 200k and my Glaciers Chains did just under that with non crits and 300-400k crits (again, numbers can easily be off because I was juggling too many chars to keep full track and never bothered to record any sort of video/pictures of Hilla solos). When I lost the hyper, my GC's noncrits did more damage than my CL's crits, which is still the case now.

How much did you hit per line with 26k range?

Given that Glacier Chain in general for me is at least twice as strong as Chain Lightning I alternate between the two, Telecasting at each Glacier Chain (I only Telecast Chain Lightning if I'm not lagging).

Additional points:

Before Unleashed (ie when I was level 166 or so) I had my hypers set at Chain Lightning - Reinforce, 1 free (since the only other dmg boosting hyper available was Tele Mastery reinforce). 26k unbuffed range, and I was soloing Hilla in roughly 4-5 minutes.

After Unleashed I changed my hypers to Teleport Mastery - Range and Glacier Chain - Cooldown Cutter. 23-24k unbuffed range (because I forgot to set my char cards back up, I don't remember the exact number), and with the method I described (though without using Teleport Mastery; I was still uncomfortable with the idea of using it against something with dr) my Hilla solo time was down to over 3 minutes. Should also mention that both cases I was using an Elemental Wand 8.

I'd say it's just get DoT from GC, then spam CL. Telecasting isn't that much better and it's just a gigantic pain in the ass. CL-GL Alternating is another big pain in the ass as well and isn't very fun at all.

GC for that one skill that gives damage with DoT, then spam Chain Lightning.
Maybe Ice Demon and GC because I think their DoT stack, but that only makes sense if you take a long time to kill the mobs.

It's been a while since I've played but afaik, you start with GC to activate storm magic and then spam CL until the DoT from GC ends. If you can telecast (and I seriously applaud you if you can without slowing down) then go for it, but it's ridiculously tedious especially if you're training for hours on end
