Guild Wars 2

So my question is if you grab the chronomancer line would that force you into taking a shield, or would you be able to use other weapon sets?

No. You spec into chronomancy but take any weapon you like. It just “unlocks” that weapon.

cool thanks alot!

Thank goodness too, cuz the shield looks like fluffy garbage unfortunately. I was excited about the proposition of a shield, but unless I’m missing some yet unknown aspect of Chronomancers traits or shields in general, I really think it looks extremely lack-luster. Bad Phantasm and highly situational #5 skill that looks underwhelming in smaller scale fights, but probably OPd in zerg fights.

Sorry to repeat myself, but just in case Anet reads these, I’m trying to voice my concern about the Shield. I think the rest of the stuff sounds great, but I don’t see me using the shield based on current information.
