Guild Wars 2

I think these two traits should swap places. Persistance of Memory and Chronophantasma have great synergy if they are in the chrono tree together, not to mention with alacrity. And with the illusions tree illusionary reversion just simply makes sense to place it there because for one it’s a illusion based skill and two you could see more dps output from maim, shattered strength “which nobody hardly uses”. Thoughts?

My only hesitance is that the 2-illusion requirement is pretty hard to maintain without Chronophantasma or DE.
Other than that though, it certainly makes sense that the “Illusion” tree would have a clone generation trait :P

I agree with your rationale, but swapping a trait from elite spec to standard trait is unheard of. Keep in mind one is a paid content in GW2 now

Um.
That’s mostly because doing ANYTHING to an elite spec is unheard of.
Given they’re new, and all.

True lol, but we do have numbers and functional adjustments on those traits here and there, just always within the elite spec traitline. Swapping a paid content trait with free content (now anyway) trait can be problematic.

I honestly don’t see why. If it’s the right change, it’s the right change. It’ll be good for the paid content, it’ll be good for the unpaid content.
It’s not like people who pay for HoT are losing access to the unpaid content.
And it’s not like it’s a programming difficulty. It’s literally a few lines of code swapped.

I don’t know. I’m hesitant about such a proposal because then Chrono would just depend on Dueling. Again. That’s not a good solution either.

While it is a nice suggestion, I am also hesitant and concerned. I like Chronophantasma and Illusionary Reversion; it has a nice 2-phantasm-1-clone combo that allows me to shatter twice within 2 seconds. Also, I feel that Illusionary Reversion tends to fit Chronomancer more in that you’re saving time to generate a clone (as in, reversing time to make an illusion). I always consider the Illusion trait to be more focus on reducing cooldowns of illusion/shatter-related skills.
