Psychokinetic Chain is a Psychokinesis psi ability the player can learn from a Psionic Mentor. Damage transfer percentage and maximum damage dealt both scale with effective psychokinesis skill, with transfer percentage starting at 20% plus 0.2% per skill point up to maximum of 70% (NOTE: Currently bugged, capped at 50%) and maximum damage starting at 30 plus 0.7 per skill point.
The amount of damage transferred is a percentage (scaling with your skill level, see table below) of the total damage dealt before accounting for the resistances of the main target. For example, if you deal 100 damage to a chained target, and they resist 20 of it and lose 80 health, the full 100 damage is calculated when transferring the damage down the chain. The transferred damage is then rolled against the resistances of the sub-targets.
The number of links in the chain does not scale with skill level, but can be increased with Psychokinetic Elasticity. Damage dealt to sub-targets can be doubled by placing a Telekinetic Proxy within range.
| Effective skill | Transfer amount% | Maximum damage transferred |
|---|---|---|
| 60 | 32% | 72 |
| 100 | 40% | 100 |
| 140 | 48% | 128 |
| 180 | 50% | 156 |
| 220 | 50%* | 184 |
| 260 | 50%* | 212 |
| 300 | 50%* | 240 |
- Bug: Despite patch 1.3.0.15 stating that the maximum transfer amount percentage was increased to 70%, it is currently capped at 50%.
