How to remove Chainbound Spells: Abilities: Other:	Resistance Information Additional Notes Although all 8 skillchain elements are activated simultaneously with the Chainbound effect, there is a priority just like any regular weaponskill for determining the resulting skillchain:

Chainbound Skillchain Properties
A	Liquefaction
B	Induration
C	Reverberation
Any	Compression
Any	Impaction

• While Chainbound status is in effect, any weaponskill with a level 1 skillchain element used by the player or party member will create a skillchain. Weaponskills with only level 2 or 3 skillchain elements (such as Shark Bite/Fragmentation) will not coordinate with Chainbound
• Note: Unlike a standard skillchain, Chainbound uses the first level 1 skillchain property of the closing weaponskill to determine which skillchain is performed. All level 2, level 3, and all non-primary level 1 skillchain elements are completely ignored.
• Due to the priority and properties of the skillchain elements while the target mob is Chainbound, 3 of the 8 active skillchain elements are never used. Thus, it is impossible to create Impaction, Reverberation, Gravitation, or Distortion skillchains.
