I don’t have Chronomancer fully unlocked yet, and I didn’t get a chance to play in the betas, so this may have already been answered. I have seen the threads about Chronomancer in group environments, where this wouldn’t matter, but what about solo? If you are traited for AWTEW, and you drop wells under your illusions, do they attack faster? Are clones and phantasms treated differently? Phantasmal Haste says specifically that the recharge is reduced for phantasm attacks, and that results in them attacking faster. Is the same true for Alacrity?

alacrity doesn’t make any difference to clones, but quickness does :-)

To answer your questions.

  • Alacrity is good for solo too.
  • Yes but only the phantasms, and more frequently not “faster”.
  • Every phantasm is performing an attack that has a recharge. Alacrity will speed that up by 33%. They dont affect clones because clones are peforming an autoattack and autoattacks have no recharge.
  • Alacrity and phantasmal haste will stack and the clones will attack .472 faster.
