GGG, It's a shame that Rolling Magma does not chain off walls with the deadeye ascendancy. Its the only skill that physically makes sense to do so. It bounces on the ground, why the hell wouldn't it bounce off a wall. Thats all. Its an incredibly disappointing revelation.

can we talk more about how ricochet works? I league started with lancing steel and haven't been able to figure out what works consistently with it in terms of projectile priority since there's dozens of projectiles per second.

so the second line says 30% chance to Chain if projectile hits a wall. is this

a) nullified by pierce and/or fork on your projectile

b) separately calculated on any projectile that makes contact with a wall

c) able to work WITHOUT chain normally? obviously hard to test since the node itself gives +1 chain...

ultimately I don't give a shit for my build, I click machine gun button and things go boom, but it's a pretty unique mechanic that might have way more relevant applications for other skills. anyone done any testing?

A) No, because those aren't valid for collisions with terrain.

B) Yes.

C) No. It doesn't cause them to chain, it only makes them able to "use" their chains at a time they normally couldn't. A projectile which can't chain still can't chain in this case.
