Is Frost Blades chaining? [HELP]

Yeah the projectile speed plays a part in how it chains basically if the projectile wouldn't travel that far to the monster it wont chain to it.

I played a frostblades WoE duelist when frostblades came out and I found maxing projectile speed helps with chaining and pierce. I honestly think pierce especially now with it having a more multiplier is the better support for frostblades. When frostblade pierces or chains a target it auto aims at the next target.

One thing I will say is there is a good bit of bad info about frostblades by people that have probably never played the build.

Main bit of bad info I found was that you shouldn't increase the single target tooltip dps because it doesn't effect the aoe clear. I found frost blades to have no problem with AoE clear meaning maxing the aoe clear even more at the cost of making the single target just made boss fights harder without really increasing clear speed.

So Frost Blades pierce and chain?

Hmm.. you did a build with it? Can you shot me the passive tree

I don't have the exact build anymore it was a few patch ago but basically just a wings of entropy duelist with some of the duelist projectile nodes. I did have a few jewels with proj speed also pretty easy to find axe dual wield melee jewels with that mod. Only big thing that changed for the build with WoE on the tree I think is the leech nodes in duelist. I'm actually thinking about playing something similar for prophecy but I won't use frostblades instead lacerate.

By default it is like other projectiles a chance to pierce, fork and chain

also for frost blades initial hit on target have similar than fork ( release projectiles when hit ) but it is not a fork because initial hit is a melee hit not projectile, you can link frost blades with one of these support gems : pierce, fork, chain , pierce is the best for bonus damage .
After on skill tree you have node to increase chance of pierce

Yes i think it will be fine , i thinking about Frost blades when seen a live stream ( in my native language ) about prophecy yesterday and i was not alone .

But for chain with this claw i don't really understand how it works, need support gem chain linked ?
