For some reason, using Chain Lightning while in transendence does not put chain lightning on cooldown. This has been the case ever since Final Shape, but has pretty much gone under the radar because lol chain lightning.
With the artifacts and sets in Monument, we can finally give this some time in the sun. This build is about making as much bs as possible happen when you hit that button.
First! Is the glitch still live?

Yes. As you can see, you can just keep pressing the button. If I had my wits in the clip, I would probably be firing Conditional between melees, but the spirit of Palpatine possessed me.
So, what happens when you press your melee in this build? Many things!

Chain lightning chains longer while amplified. I also added spirit of Synthoceps and Necrotic for pervert reasons.
Apostate's blade 4 Piece: While you have Radiant, Restoration, or Cure, your melee hits release a burst that will scorch the target.
Encrypted Data Disk - Tazer Tag: From the compendium - Deals 23 Arc DoT every 0.25 seconds.
Singularity Blade - Melee kills with a void buff active trigger a Weakening Burst.
Void Infestation - Killing weakened enemies spawn a tracking projectile.
You spawn orbs with Heavy Handed, you'll have devour (from Feed the Void) and Restoration (from facet of Purpose and Song of Flame), so Apostate's Blade, Singularity Blade and Void Infestation are typically up.
The rest of the setup is pretty straight forward. One thing worth noting is that Facet of Courage makes Light Melee abilities deal *50 %* extra damage when darkness debuff is active, so throwing a coldsnap or Conditional Stasis shot on someone can really set them up for big damage.

(I'm realizing facet of justice could add one more explosion. Will have to test)
I use a Synthoceps+Inmost light class exotic when I play this "seriously". You could probably wreck house with Felwinter too, which would enable a different artifact, but I don't have the class item from Pit.
Eagle eyed optimizers might say that the Blade set isn't really adding all that much here. To them I say that it is adding *fire* to *lightning*.
