Open world with core mesmer: Ideally…you don’t do this. Core mesmer blows. If you must, it’ll look something like this build
I didn’t forget the grandmaster trait in dueling, there’s just nothing worth using there.
Open world chronomancer: either this with inspiration or this with dueling. Inspiration has reflects, dueling has more damage.
Highest dps chronomancer build as power? Well, the best recommendation I can give you is to reroll elementalist or thief. If you want power dps, you need to play another class. In fact, if you want condie dps in most realistic situations, you should play another class. From the way you finished your post, it sounds like you’re simply uninformed about how chronomancer works in parties. You don’t use a max dps build, you use a max support build. The build you should use for instanced content is something like this.
You’ll usually use boon duration food or the on-swap sigil to hit high boon duration in combination with a revenant pulsing the 50% facet. If you plan on tanking in raids, you’ll need 1400 toughness, so swap in knights/commander’s gear as appropriate. The purpose of the build is not to provide maximum dps, but to provide permanent quickness and alacrity for most of your raid group/party.
Fay has solid start builds like – really great. Honestly hard to post better other than a few preferences for Open World. Obv may adjust build depending on open world situation, like if wanted to do more support, etc. Maybe solo a lot, HoT, full zerk is ultimate glass cannon on Mesmer so vit/toughness boost is great in Open World.
Love the general raid build for DPS/support. Because you will be support/DPS rather, support first. Fay was honest If you are all about max DPS and only DPS; you chose the wrong class my friend Mesmer is the most support focused of any class.
