On Chronomancer:
When using in quick succession without any illusions:

Continuum Split -> Chaos Storm -> Phase Retreat (seems optional) -> Mind Wrack -> Cry of Frustration -> Diversion

The rift created by Continuum Split seems to remain as long, as if 3 Illusions had been shattered. This bug is not consistent and requires a certain timing. I made a short video, when a guildie and I figured out, how it works:

Note:
I only managed to recreate the bug in the video after equipping Chaotic Dampening and Bountiful Disillusionment. But I have managed to recreate the bug without those traits before. So they aren’t really a key component. The main factor seems to be the timing between Chaos Storm and Mind Wreck. The Phase Retreat, which we first thought to be required for the bug, only seems to help find the “right timing”.

This post has been also posted in the bug forum.

Update:
The same thing is possible, with GS#5 instead of Staff#5.

Chronomancy works, I am proof of it. Now stop asking me questions. Time must be preserved!

The bug is interesting, but it’s the choice of music that really makes this video.

Imho it is possible with f5+ any other shatter through only correct timing. I achieved this (not steadily) with f5-> wait some time -> f1
