Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone! I was wondering if any of you guys had some fun chrono builds for PvE? I don’t really care about it being the absolute best in terms of survival in DPS, just fun to play with. I really like illusion-heavy builds and the greatsword, so if it includes either of those, amazing

Thanks for the help in advance!

Have you tried Domination/Illusions/Chrono with:

- 12s iZerker
- Traited Ether Signet for refreshing iZerker
- Chronophantasma for more iZerkers
- Persistence of Memory for more iZerkers when you shatter your already too many iZerkers.

I will definitely try that! I haven’t tried much though besides joining the PvP lobby, I was hoping to have some ideas for a build before I got all geared up.

I’m been using basically the same build for PvE all along – with alterations based on the situation. It’s what I originally coined the Rewinder because of all of the CD reduction.

Illusions: 212 (possibly Phantasmal Haste if you prefer)
Inspiration: 321
Chronomancer: 333

Lots of alacrity, reduced cd illusions and shatters, shattering Phantasms respawns them and reduces your Phantasm CDs (which includes your Shield Block).

Sword/Shield then whatever other weapon set you prefer. I use GS for ranged tagging if doing solo PvE but with a group you’d prob prefer Sword/Sword or Sword/Focus and switch the second inspiration trait to #1.

Gear I run with zerkers/assassins (your defenses are all active). Utilities I was running full Wells (Precog PvP, Recall PvE) but in groups run Signet of Ether, WoAction, WoRecall, Mimic, and Time Warp (the basic PvE meta utilities). though with this setup you need to decide whether to stick with Insp and boost your Time Warp or go Dom and boost your Signet.

The Mesmer with high active defenses is finally starting to get the intention some of the Mesmer community have been trying to point at it :P

Very detailed and informative! This sounds great!
