The Jailer binds his current target in chains, inflicting 33.5994 Physical damage every 2 sec for 40 sec and growing in intensity over time.

The target is chained to the nearest 3 allies, who suffer any Physical damage taken by the primary target until their chains are broken. Moving 30 yards from the primary target breaks a chain and triggers Chain Breaker.
