Guild Wars 2

Simple question I hope. Still quite a ways from unlocking all of chronomaster, so was wondering what a good build and gear would be.

Everything I searched on seemed to be potentially out of date

Thanks much

OK, so after more Digging I’ve seen some stuff,

However that leads to more questions.

1. When doing solo, at what point do you switch to Chrono ? Obviously if you have completed the entire trait line you do, but is there a cutoff where Part of Chrono > any trait lline it is replacing?

1. When Doing Solo in Open World PVE, whn does S/SH +F end up outpacing something like GS + S/F for example? This may be another way to ask question 1, but I feel there is a little difference.

You can use chrono immediately, because shield is pretty nice and because you don’t really need that 3rd skill tree that badly to define the build. If you’re shattering you go domination and illusion and the third tree is optional, so taking chrono immediately is an option.
I’m not a fan of focus in open world, I only use it for certain encounters in instanced content for pull or for reflection. In open world I mostly go with gs+s/sh, because they both have decent aoe and both skills on shield are useful in every fight, while casting phantasms is usually barely noticeable when you fight group of mobs(iwarden is especially crap in open world), aside from berserker ofc, since it can hit whole group.
