Hey everyone over the past couple daysI have been taking screenshots of the ability tooltips and videos of ability animations of the Chronomancer for those who are curious about the current state of Chronomancer in BWE1 for reference or comparison in later BWEs.

The tooltips damage numbers are based level 80 character wearing exotic Berserker armor/accessories with Rune of the Scholar. (2333 power, 1095 toughness, 1095 toughness, 1852 precision, 952 ferocity, 95 condition damage). No traits are selected. This was done to standardize the comparison of abilities across multiple elite specializations.

Here are the ability tooltips: http://dulfy.net/2015/08/10/gw2-chronomancer-mesmer-elite-specialization/

Now I finally realize the wells, in addition to be mostly hard to use, also have laughably long cast time.

Well of recall has 1 sec cast time, really?

Thanks, Dulfy!

I agree, Exciton, the cast times for the wells are way too long considering that the skills themselves are super-telegraphed.

Yeah, long cast time, delayed damage on last tick, overall pretty useless (at least for me).

Yes, the cast time sounds pointless since there is already counterplay in the 3s waiting…
