You have to consider Chain outside the context of well-coordinated synergy, though. If they're to be believed there won't be the same level of coordination available to us. We already know brd lost its own passive crit buff and also doesn't benefit from crit in nearly the same way that it once did.

If the meta becomes a few high damage jobs executing their bursts when available (likely with a DNC buffing one of them) Chain won't give best the same value that it does now even if they buffed it's actual numbers.

I agree, cards are a mystery.
