[GW2 WvW] Strip Chronomancer in World vs. World -- An Intro Build Primer

-- Boon Chronomancer couples Chronomancer's profession-best boon removal mechanics with good boon uptime and crowd control from access to Gravity Well and Focus 4. Take a look at this guide to learn the basics of playing this profession!
-- It's mentioned in the video, but worth repeating here. Mimic, Veil, Mantra of Concentration, and Portal are all relatively interchangeable. I'm running Veil in most of these clips, because I'm usually asked to drop Veils for my commander. But if you're just a person joining a squad, and nobody's asking you to do anything, stick with Mimic until somebody tells you otherwise.

I don't want to promise you the world, but. BUT. Conference season has ended, and I'm about a week away from finishing the first draft of my dissertation proposal. Get ready for a lot of videos in the next month or two (hopefully). I'd really love to make more time for it.

Enjoy all your wvw content keep it up

[@sheffplaysgames]

I can do that. :)

[@MajestyHodge]

As a foreigner, I read it easily with subtitles and tried to understand it. I hope you continue to make good videos. good luck.

[@sheffplaysgames]

I'm glad they are helpful! They take some time to make (about one hour per five minutes) so I'm slowly working my way through old videos and adding subtitles.

Excellent job of editing and speaking. now I have to go try this build as all things. I swear I'm going to go broke trying new builds :-)

[@sheffplaysgames]

The new stat selectable gear robot makes it not totally horrendous. Exotics are completely fine for almost all cases in WvW.

[@MagNus-lb6ui]

You mention runes for 25% boon duration, but in build link you use 15. Anything im missing here? :)

[@philadams493]

on the right side there is a boon multiplier (right side under level, second from bottom) 1.78x15= 26.7 im not being funny by this reply, i find it confusing also

[@sheffplaysgames]

In this case, it was just the wrong build link. Updated it to use Herald (correct) instead of Durability (incorrect). Link's here, and updated in the description -> gw2skills.net/editor/?Pi0AEx3lVw0YfsNWJOqWltWA-DWJYnR9/ZkpUNdVlO/KEgA2DvmHspBA-w
