Is there a way to tell which skill-types can skill chain?

[MESeele]

I feel like not every 2 types can go together... I've tried to grab 3:3 or 4:2 for a few types, and not a single skill chain popped up in a couple runs, while it's not too uncommon with others.

ex: I tried to combo Swing+Earth and nothing ever popped up, while Slam+Earth popped up etc.

Or can all types skill chain and I've just been really unlucky some runs?


edit: Figures. Just after I posted this a Swing to Earth skill chain popped. *sigh*, well I'm still wondering if all types can chain?

So only the major ability types can chain. The easy way to check is if it's a category you can select with the rune Skill Mastery, then it can chain. So things like Earth and Swing can chain, things like Missile and Frontal cannot.

The thing that's probably messing with you is that there is a requirement that when chaining FROM a skill type, you must be using at least 2 skills of that type with a base CD of 8 seconds or less. It's mainly designed to keep buffs from procing chains, but this also means that something like Bladestorm with a 10 second CD, won't trigger chain upgrades. things with higher base CDs than 8 wont get in the way (and will even chain) as long as you have at least 2 skills that are 8 or less.

The thing you are chaining TO can have any CD.
