(outdated) EASYMANCER | 5 - 6 Button LI Chronomancer | Guild Wars 2

Honestly just go virtuoso unless you don't have the expac. Or if you just REALLY love chrono go for it

Nice, looks interesting:) thanks for that build.

[@orack6355]

If you don't use your "E" and want another passive, you can use the signet that generate clone each 10 sec to gain a bit of dps by shattering earlier (in the easy version I mean) Keep it easy :)

Nice vid, as mesmer lover I wish we can still having our utility, do u think this should fill a spot in fractals?

[@tigeargw2]

Yes good enough for fractals

Waiting for necromancer/reaper :)

[@Ragnar452]

I loved power reaper when it came out. I may try it again. It just seems it needs a bit more buffs.

[@tigeargw2]

Reaper build vid is coming next! Found a solid rotation with only greatsword/shroud and 2 signets. Top 3 DPS in multiple boss fights. Here's a little sneak peak for y'all I'm typing while on a 13 hour road trip lol First utility, "You are all Weaklings" OR well of suffering. The shout does similar damage, easier to use, and grants might for more solo carry potential while you already give yourself quickness in shroud Second utility Signet of Undeath, helps with life force generation and the ranged res utility is nice! Third utility, the signet that gives passive power. Elite skills, flesh golem or the shout, flesh golem is more practical/easy to use. Shout seems good for better CC if needed Heal skill whatever you want, I like the consume conditions one Rotation: OPENER: Greatsword 5, 4, 3, 2 --> Shroud LOOP: Shroud 4, 2, auto until youve used 2 three times --> Exit Shroud Greatsword 4, 3, 2, Auto chain, 2, 5 --> Shroud When the boss is below 50% spam greatsword 2 instead of autoing When the boss is below 25% use shroud skill 5 when possible Use "You are all Weaklings" on cooldown, or "Well of Suffering" right before entering shroud This does about 25k but way more when the enemy is below 50% health. You do 30% more damage to enemies below 50% with the spite Grandmaster trait + runes of the eagle (standard reaper traits) Full berserker gear, Runes of the Eagle, Force/Impact Sigils (pretty sure, can't check right now) The rotation is probably too complex to be considered LI but it's certainly easier than regular reaper. I'll make a second easier rotation that does a little less DPS when I work on the video. 25k probably doesn't seem like much but with good self boon uptime (quickness, some might), res utility, and good aoe burst/execute damage Reaper is in a surprisingly fun spot

[@Ragnar452]

@@tigeargw2 waaa, i would definitely switch back to it

[@tigeargw2]

@@Ragnar452 yup yup! It's one of those builds that do a lot of good reliable damage even if the max benchmark doesn't look very high, like mechanist and pretty much all LI builds lol

[@AdiShuji]

@@tigeargw2 wow, thank you :) looking forward to the video.

[@boschmitch]

not to criticize but gameplay is like Core mez with Illusions instead of chronomancer. if memory serves right, chrono shatters are the least in damage among specs.

[@tigeargw2]

I agree, some people just wanna play specs to play the specs I suppose.(Chrono was highly requested) They might end up dabbling with Chrono specific things after. Main goal is to just show it's possible

[@boschmitch]

@@tigeargw2 I agree. By taking Danger time in Chrono line, you can drop thief rune for scholar. But I feel if damage revolves about shatters, Virtuoso (an improved Core Mez) would be my bet. GJ though on showcasing this.

[@tigeargw2]

I feel the rotation explanation is a little hard on the eyes, here's a more visual image of it i.imgur.com/HxgHSxP.png

[@scammicus7110]

So, "Hidden Pistol" is a Charr specific utility, right? Best alternative in your opinion?

[@tigeargw2]

It's situational but if you want something general purpose & passive I'd go with with "Signet of Illusions." If you want to be able to stun-break yourself: "Mantra of Concentration" Extra CC: "Signet of Domination" Extra Clones on demand "Mirror Images"

[@anders8461]

@@tigeargw2 better use mantra of distraction for extra cc and signet's passive would be of use for power chrono :)
