Chronomancer livestream notes
Noticed on the split/shift tooltip:
The three second duration means it will be a lot harder to make massive multi-use combos off of skills than people may have believed. At the same time, it seems a lot less likely that people will target the rift created, so the counterplay may be less severe. Odd that the effect doesn’t change per illusion shattered.
Also, alacrity seems FAR less impactful than people were thinking/hoping/fearing. It looks like the full effect from the well will only save you a couple of seconds. A helpful mechanic, sure, but definitely not as end-of-the-world-y as folks here would make it sound.
Thanks for posting that! I meant to watch PoI and got distracted by SW and a late lunch instead.

3s, but increased per clone, so I’d imagine 9s max, or maybe 12 if it counts you in that as well with that trait becoming baseline? either way 9-12s seems to be a good guess on max time.
One concern with reading all that. The destroyable entry point. Sounds great for PVP, but, for PVE, a single swipe from some enemies is the same as a good bit of bursting from a player… will this skill just end up getting destroyed very quickly in PVE? Sorry, just a worrier I guess, illusions already have that big issue of being pretty impractical since they die so easily in PVE because they can’t dodge, nwo it sounds like this might have that same issue.
