[GW2 WvW] Strip Chronomancer in World vs. World -- Rotation and Skill Combos

Рет қаралды 5,015

Күн бұрын

-- Chronomancer has been one of the benefactors of the most recent round of balance patches, and now provides some of the best boon removal of any profession in World vs. World, while providing either Quickness or Alacrity to its party at the same time. Take a look at this guide to see the basics of playing Support Chronomancer, skill usage and priorities, and then give it a try for yourself!
-- Let me know what other kinds of videos you'd like to see in the comments. We can discuss rotations, variant builds, or look at different specializations and professions entirely. And if you'd rather watch live and discuss things there, you can find me at twitch.tv/sheffplaysgames. Or, check out some of the vods on my other channel, SheffPlaysGamesVoDs.

Based on some conversations in the Discord, I think there's going to be a third Chrono video sometime next month that talks about Mimic, Veil, Mantra of Concentration, and Portal. It's hard to overstate how flexible Chronomancer's utilities are, and I think it's worth taking a deeper dive into them. Also, I don't want to say I told you so, but October's off to a great start so far. I'm a little annoyed that I have a work trip next week, or I could really make some progress. But I'm hoping to get a lot of videos out the door this month (and possibly even next month too). Stay tuned. :)

Sweet, been looking for a build for my Chrono.

Great guide, now to practice these combos.

Very easy to practice Chronomancer on a golem. It helped me a lot with getting the basic muscle memory of Continuum Split figured out. Good luck!

You're a badass! Excellent video! 😁👍

I like that you recommend greatsword. Most of the guides I see online use shield, but greatsword offers more range, clone generation, and boon removal.

@sheffplaysgames 10 ай бұрын

Shield's still fine, especially if you're having trouble living (somehow). But Greatsword is really strong right now, I think it's a better option overall. :)

Hey Sheff, you said in this video or your intro chrono video that auto attack GS removes boons. Typo or can you please explain?

@sheffplaysgames 9 ай бұрын

Your SWORD autoattack chain removes boons, on the third attack in the chain. The skill is Mind Spike (wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mind_Spike). I checked the subtitles file, it's correct there, so I could have mis-spoke in the video. :)

What demon was your commander summoning during that enemy push?

@sheffplaysgames 10 ай бұрын

That's just how he is. He gets excited.

For future videos, please put your text somewhere else so we can see your skill usage. Great video!

@vincentharrelson1858 7 ай бұрын

My bad. Skills were only blocked when not in full-screen.

@sheffplaysgames 7 ай бұрын

I'll see if there's a better aspect ratio or something that I can use, but glad that it's resolved.

Could i run this build in celestial gear? Or would it dull it up in all kinds of ways?

@sheffplaysgames 10 ай бұрын

Celestial should still be fine.

@MagNus-lb6ui 9 ай бұрын

Takes quite a hit on hitpoints and a power, but i think itll be decent :)

@sheffplaysgames 9 ай бұрын

Chrono's "hitpoints" are a bit of a trap, because you'll want to use your Sword 2 and Distortion to live through any spicy situations anyway. A bit of padding is good, but if you know where your invulns are, you shouldn't really notice the effective hp loss moving from Wanderer/Minstrel to something like Cele.

I like playing my chrono with wanderer gear and a power focused relic and rune. With marauder/diviner weapons for some oomph and act more as a tank.

@sheffplaysgames 8 ай бұрын

Yep. It's never going to get you to the top of the meters, but it fills a Scourge-ish role in a comp, where it does some damage but also brings a lot of boon strip (and in Chrono's case, Quickness or Alacrity).

@Dunuy69 8 ай бұрын

what relic rune do you go for?

@marshal8358 8 ай бұрын

@@Dunuy69 Core ones I prefer leadership or Defender. Expac ones idk, maybe Cerus for the grav well synergy.

@creestee08 8 ай бұрын

wow. that commander. i dont like your tag's hurrying voice. it's so distracting. cant even understand a thing.

@sheffplaysgames 8 ай бұрын

My own commanding isn't much of an improvement, honestly. At least in the groups I play with, people aren't sure what the plan is if the commander isn't communicating all the time. But it's very different group to group, and there's a lot of other communication styles that commanders use.
