Guild Wars 2

I see alot about everyone loving condi crono but hows Chrono with assassin gear and wells? this question is pointed at my fellow pve mesmers It just seems with assassin gear you could do alot with the wells and shatters coming off of F5 or are you having a better time with carrion gear for a combined build

for the usual pve without reflects if your alone.. berserker beats assassins by a very small negligible amount.

but since you’re talking about the assassins build.. dom/duel/chrono.. this is for phantasm uptime,
for shatter, you could go dom/illu/chrono

also, you’re right, wells work in power builds. Carrion isn’t needed in pve atm.. probably that might change in the future.. carrion reduces damage done over assassins or berserker

Carrion is never going to be a good PvE set, never in a million years. If you want hybrid, you’d go sinister. Pure condie, rabid. Power, zerker/assassins.

All things considered, I’m not too sold on chrono as far as PvE goes for most things. It could be good…but it’s hard to say. If it is good, it’s going to revolve around a much more complex playstyle than current mesmer, which makes it harder to actually execute effectively in dungeons when you’re also needing to pay attention to the bosses.

However, if you’re going to run power on chrono, I’d probably recommend zerker over assassin. Since danger time gives a 30% crit chance boost to slowed enemies, that higher crit chance isn’t necessary.

Rampagers is a contestant for hybrid due to Precision being such a useful stat in both Condie and Power builds.

And Pyro is right, you don’t need the bonus from Assassin’s. I’m sitting at 80% with food/nourish and now that Mesmers have self fury, I have 100% crit chance. Danger Time is just going to be overkill.

Except slow doesn’t work on Breakbar.

Thank you for all of your feed back everyone Gives me some things to try
