Guild Wars 2

Hi,
I have question, it’s a big issue if my chrono build make 5k less dps then basic chrono dps?

I have full commy gear with dura runes for some passive protect share (12sec/20sec cd). Maded for tanking. (Vg, gorse, xera.. ). I have great ressults at VG (really safe tank – only aroung 5k lower dps)

Its really problem if I have lower dps? Never had problem at no updraft gorseval 9ppl so? :-)

It honestly depends entirely on the group you are running with.

If you’re pugging, no. So long as you’re able to effectively tank in your build and keep up perma quickness and alacrity, you’re good. If you are a part of a static group, one that low-mans or is going after speed clears, then it becomes an issue, because DPS from every person in the group is that much more important. For example, I have a total of four gear sets for my chronotank, three of which I commonly swap back and forth between, depending on which particular boss we’re at. I know my static well now and know at this point what build serves us best for getting a fast, clean kill.

So tl;dr, it’s situational, but I think largely you’re fine. As chronotanks, our first and primary concern will always be properly positioning the bosses and keeping up permanent quickness and alacrity.

You can no-updraft gors without cc delay while running 2 minstrel chronos. Thats how much impact chrono dps has. In the end quickness and alacrity uptime is your only concern, apart from the situational distortion.

Did you tried switching out some commander gears to zerkers? I’m running 4zerk + 2 commy and still can keep perma quickness. But still, a small increase on our dps doesnt mean anything compare to ele which doing 123123532dps more than us. If you’re comfort with your gears already you dont need to change anything, its your dps fault if dps related issue happens.
