AnonymousGood with wet combinations, but level 6 slot for me is more usuably for myrmidons/celestials summons. Even if you can get back the level 6 slots. I would use more summons than a big damage spell like this. The 3 flying ghouls are also nice.
You have lvl 5 cloudkill spells that with heroes feast all your group/summons became immune to it. And is not only a level 5 spell, is a level 5 that you have 10 rounds to move around. Dealing 5d8 at the time you cast and 5d8 at start the enemy turn. So it is a lot.

For those looking to optimize chain lightning use: go 6 cleric 6 sorc, get amulet of devotee for 3 destructive wraths per short rest, , markoheshir lightning favour, Haste and quicken, freecast and arcane battery for: 3 chain lightnings, all doing the max damage possible, for up to 12 ticks. Wet enemies, lightning charges + some better armor like potent robes and you're reaching possibly 1500-2k damage in 1 character turn

Love it ! With a quickened spell meta-magic and an item/s which allows you to not use a spell slot, you can just open combat with two consecutive chain lightnings and half of the enemies are down (200-300 damage with some decent rolls). Also this is highly recommendable to be played with a Storm sorcerer because of the class bonuses, amazing synergy.
