Chronomancer is one of the more complex builds for Guild Wars 2, but learning how to take control of its massive utility and combo potential will be a lot of fun and versatility. This build is meant to take that to the next level and perform decently in all game modes with minimal playstyle and gear swapping so that new players can get into the game without all the grinding for different game modes.

I truly love these videos. As a returning player who was new when I stopped playing, alot of these elite specializations are intimidating. I appreciate the time and the detail you provide in these videos. Its helped me alot to minimize what gear and wep sets to use.

thanks for this versatile build. I played Mirage too much and your Chrono build is extreme fun. As always you consider also sustain in your build which is forgotten by so many

The more I dwell on this build, the more beautiful it seems. It doesn't rely on gimmicky Pack runes to omegabuff yourself and chaining you to its own CD. It fixes the issue with using heal signet to recharge phantasm skills, since it has other methods of sustain. Using scepter as your ranged option and using offhand sword are no longer concessions, as their block access is now important to the build. Continuum Split is a lot easier to access with scepter and Well of Precog is now utilizing every feature it has. Still full zerkers for the glass, but no longer relies on blowing cooldowns for opting to do burst damage. Cont Split is no longer a braindead DPS cannon gimmick in this build, since you can realistically upkeep DPS using heal signet since it isn't being used as a concession. It's okay with losing Distortion, because it has more natural blocks. Shield is actually a best in slot weapon now. Amazing build, love the idea of it.

This is a really fun build. I like builds not all in on DPS and Big numbers, but surviveable ones. Soloed Champion Unbound Djinn with this on Fireworks runes (meh about WvW), and it was so fun. This and Power Mesmer all the way.

Is there a big difference between this build and the one you made for Mirage ? The mirage one is a little old now (8 months), does it still hold up ? After watching both of them, I'm not seeing too much of a difference between them. I like the Mirage mechanic more than the Chronomancer reset, even though I prefer the Chronomancer weapons of choice. I guess my question would be, which one deals more damage overall, which one has more survivability, and which one is easier to master. Thanks.

@Vallun 2 жыл бұрын

the answer is none of them, play which you prefer, chrono is generally more dmg but less survivability

just a tip for guide videos.. you specifically refer to abilities that have been re-bound to something else in this video and while it seems silly can def cause confusion for new players. I know it sounds ridiculous, but when you do these guides i would recommend using default key binding and explaining them in that way because when you refer to abilities and point them out with a different button, there might be a disconnect.

I don't understand why did you chose to go for Slow route for PvP despite Lost Time and Delayed Reactions being one of the weakest traits in the entire game (if not the weakest). Slow from Delayed Reactions wears off by the time CC ends and there isn't enough Slow application to justify going for 3 sec Alac on 3 sec CD instead of other 2 which are way way way more consistent. I would understand the idea behind it if you had Danger Time but you didn't get it either. (which wouldn't worth it anyway after the last nerf). I am not trying to bash you, it just seems like a weird choice when generic shatter build which you used yourself before is much more effective.

@Vallun 2 жыл бұрын

i realized that the sustain on chrono was super low, but with more alacrity it became better because more cooldowns and answers, and the alacrity uptime not only gave more skills to use but also more clones to shatter and then more alacrity

@AmazingLube Жыл бұрын

Sadly the damage is an absolute joke compared to any other elite spec or profession. I tried an exact replica of the PvE build with exotic gear and it is very disappointing. A shatter with 3 clones at maximum might does half the damage of a vindicator dodge for example. And the Vindicator can spam dodge with no cooldown while the shatter has 10 seconds. My tank bladesworn hits for 80k AoE every 13 seconds and can face tank everything. It just doesn't compare.

@Vallun Жыл бұрын

its not really focusing on shatters though, its on phantasms, and it isn't easy to count that damage since it occurs over a long time. If you don't like it though its ok, this is just for people who want to play mesmer
