Guild Wars 2

Hey

I have worked on a “interrupt” version of my purple crusader build

The concept is the same: using the crusader amulet using danger time to get the missing crit chance. This allows the same power and crit damage as a marauder build, but with high sustain (high toughness and good healing power). While maintaining high slow uptime is very difficult, mesmer has a low sustained damage, so we really only need a window to get our burst.

The problem with the previous build is that “Lost time” does not maintain slow very well. I usually had to rely on the shield phantasm or the well (I usually used the well on top of gravity + calamity to get high crit chance for the well burst). I this made the interrupt variant:

Thanks to the domination line + chaotic interruption, each interrupt translates to vulnerability, might + boon, slow and immobilize. So we have high crit chance, high damage and they cannot easily dodge our shatter burst. We do loose fury uptime (though pack runes + CI do give an excellent uptime anyway), DE (arguably the worst part of this build) and stability.

I do think BD instead of CI is still possible, and actually dueling instead of chaos probably still works, but I felt that this specific build worked fine. For the chrono GM, everything is acceptable, I chose StM for stomp/rez and also faster cast while continuum shifting (since I have hard time generating illusions for F5). CP makes sense since we have very low illusion production. And of course “Lost time” gives more slow uptime although I really start to think this trait is weak. The utilities are also quite flexible, I actually played a few times with portal instead of MoD, but condi cleanse can also be welcome since this build only has the heal (phantasmal disenchanter may be a good choice to also add some more illusions).

Pretty much this is the way to go for Power Chrono in PvP.

I go the zerker sw/sh GS but inspiration, chaos, chrono with CI and spamming the slow.

inspiration line must go if you dont have some sort of condi cleanse
i might suggest AR so with CS you can use it twice and stay with dom trait line

i would go with marauder amulet and no crusader unless you like to stay on point

I do not know whether I am in those lucky match ups or I am doing exceptionally well, or a mix of both however, lately I am doing a very good job with

• dom: emp. illusions/signet trait/mental anguish
• insp: persisting images/resto. illusions/defender
• chrono: TCP/Imp alacrity/CP

SoE heal, GS/sw+sh, zerker amulet, durability runes

The nice thing is being able o unload between 4 to 6 izerkers (continuum split) and removing 3 condis when healing+distorsion.
It retains all burst capabilities from a glass build but isn’t as squeeschy thanks to defender runes.

I know shattered concentration is generally speaking a better trait, but the signet trait I think is better for solo queeu

Going to try delayed reactions+danger time but Imp. Alacrity is soo nice to give up

Yes, this is precisely the idea: being able to stay on point while doing a damage similar to a marauder.

For condi cleanse, the heal does cleanse 3, so things get difficult when I fight a condi reaper for example. This is one of the main weakness of the build.
