Need advice on this wand

I feel like I should have all the tools at my disposal to turn this wand (#1) into a machine gun, but despite the recharge & the chainsaws, it just doesn't work. Any ideas on how I could organize my spells to make it work are welcome.

Note : I am currently in the Holy Mountain before biome #3. I could always do something along the lines of triggerbolt + multicast + plasma beams, teleport out of the mountain, climb back up the chasm, go kill the pyramid boss, grab its wand and see if I can build a machine gun with that one. Should I though ?

Thanks in advance

I assume 1st wand is 1sec recharge or less, if so:
reduce recharge, spark bolt trigger, add mana, 2x double cast, 4x chainsaw should do it.
You need a chainsaw at the end that isn't in the trigger-cast group to set cast delay to 0.
(cast delay of spells in a trigger-cast group are ignored)

As Doombringer said regarding the trigger cast group - you might want to INCLUDE the Add Mana in the cast group to disregard the big time delay it usually adds.

Judging by the visuals, it's experimental wand (max recharge time 1s).

Brute force would be: Add mana, Reduce recharge, Quad cast, double cast, 4x Chainsaw, Large spitter bolt.

You also have everything for wrapping so keep studying this.

That is the first experimental wand, yes. Recharge time was 0.72secs.

Stacking two multicasts next to eachother did the trick, thanks. I'm still not sure why and how it works, but it works. I went ahead and plasmabeamed through the pyramid boss anyway and got a wand that's better in every regard, too, so I will be able to expand upon that core build (specifically, I'm going to try to weave in one of my orbit spells, or the damage field, or both).

Every time I've tried grasping how wrapping works, I eventually reached the point where I thought to myself "I got it", just to realise later on that I did not, in fact, get it. Today I have once again been saved from my laziness and mediocrity by the knowledge of the internet.

I have another wand-related question :

Would this wand be efficient at killing Sauvojen Tuntija (aka pit boss/Wand Connoisseur/Squidward) quickly and as safely as possible ? If not, what would you change ?

I like to add personal gravity field to any pit boss wand I make just to make sure all the projectiles stay around him and away from me.

It can work, the epilogue 2 patch definitely made pit boss a bit more dangerous though.
Nothing is really 100% safe on him, shield and explosion immunity help though.

In order to save some mana, replace second Sawblade orbit with Fireball orbit. Only the first orbit spell will determinate orbit type and any additional orbit spell will simple double the damage of first orbit. Orbit.

For overkill, replace spark bolt with any timer and put pierce+homing in in front of timer spell.

Or, Find larpa mod (not explosion) and slap that next to plasma beams.

I've thought about the orbit spells I should be using against the bastar d, but I think double sawblade orbit is the way to go since according to the wiki, he has a x0.2dmg modifier against fire, but only a x1 modifier against slice.

Don't have a larpa mod (or a timer, for that matter) on hand, but I quite like Damnion's personal gravity field idea, and I saw one of those in a holy mountain, so I'll swap out the rainbow trail with that for safety.

Edit : read your reply too fast. Whoops. Swapping the second sawblade orbit for fire orbit makes much more sense.
