Great initiative, Eremite.

Ha Ha Ha…. Kami hopped on that Rev train!!!! lmao
I made one too but i would never put that on my signature…. lol
If you want to do any type of sustained condition dmg on mesmer in high level fractals without sacrificing your alacrity pumping potential. You need to be dueling/illusions/chronomancer. Vipers gear/weapons, sinister trinkets. Duelists discipline/phantasmal haste with signet of ether as healing skill. Starting a fight you start 2 phantasmal duelists and then scepter 3 pistol 5 for breakbars. Drop your wells to get alacrity going strong. As soon as you are able pop pistol 4 for a 3rd duelist then swap immediately to your viper staff and camp staff dancing around dropping staff 5 and using 4 situationally. Then drop more wells on cooldown. Only swap back to pistol/scepter to summon more duelists. Taking full advantage of the phantasms taking 95% less dmg they will RARELY die and if they do you can use the heal signet to get two back up quickly without losing much dps uptime. If you have the right group who can maintain 25 vuln/might and good quickness uptime on your iduelists you can maintaing CRAZY sustain condi dmg. I was pushing numbers in fractals tonight that were very impressive, 10k bleed ticks with around 5 might and 5 vuln on target and no quickness. I can see a top level mesmer in the right group easily hitting 20k bleeds. Also the duelists attacks are 20% projectile finisher so fire fields be sexy. ALSO rangers sun spirit become super sexy. Warrior condi bannerz. Sexy
also because it is passive dmg through your phantasms leaves you more time to run around and do fight mechanics and avoid red circles not dying and wiping your groups as often. Unlike those sinister condi engis who are so focused on their 60000 button cooldown management system rotation that they keep dying to bloomhungers circles.
I run something like this in dungeons but with sinister gear and it works great (i think) As an added note, wells and chaos storm are ethereal fields so having 3 duelists or wardens up usually stacks about 15-20 confusion if your party lacks fields.
It is clear that his build only worked thanks to his team. It’s not as good to defend a point 1v2 like a cele ele. In particular, the might stacks were multiplied by his trait, but he didn’t create much.
Morality: you see Curunen. If you can’t take shattered strength, just bring in an elementalist
If people couldnt see this coming for the torny meta they know nothing.
The point is that with the shift on the meta, chrono has had to find its role. Roaming DPS is out, and simply going to be a portal bot leaves to much to be desired. Thus, we see the dawn of the Utility Wizard. Bunk Chrono sitting at mid in a team fight with bruisers and/or another dedicated bunker means you create a watertight offense/defense as you buff what everybody else there can do (alacrity, buff/debuff, cc). What you can bring “1v1” is meaningless. Rotating, capturing, and holding is the only thing that matters in the end.
THIS!!!
I mentioned in a post before how it looked like chrono was more of a point fighter (which mesmers have never really been known to be) than a squishy burst roamer. After trying and failing to figure out a good build i finally settled for Fay’s awesome bunker chrono build and i love playing it.
When i play with coordinated teamates sometimes i switch Mental Defense for Illusionary Inspiration and eventhough i miss phantasmal defender my teamates are always surprised with all the boons (including alacrity and quickness) i can provide in a fight.
You realize most of the people you’re talking to probably play those “scumbag p2w” specs, right?
I don’t see how it matters as I don’t care whom is playing what.
I’m mad at specs, not at people.
It seems you misclicked about 2 screens before friend, allow me to redirect you.
Although chronomancer (mesmer HoT “p2w” elite spec) is actually pretty good, the pve aspect of it completely outshines the pvp one, hence the chronomancer hype you might hear. PvP chrono so far basically plays the same as regular mesmer with a few more clones and AoE wells that provide some utility to a otherwise very selfish class (unless you play boonshare of course). Better? yes. Op? definitely not.
It seems that where you want to be is the Dragon Hunter forums and mention something about “OP traps” or “brain dead to play” or “Fotm” or “plz nerf” and you will receive much feedback on your inquiries.
It’s not a buff on the Mesmer, it’s a buff on the Phantasm. Every Phantasm that is conjured.
There’s no ICD, every Phantasm you conjure get the buff. When a Phantasm with the buff is Shattered it loses the buff so the next time it’s Shattered it’s gone for good, like usual. It’s individual for every Phantasm.
let see if this explains my question better. Once i used all my phantasms in a fight and shattered them and then shattered the resummoned ones. When do i get to use chronophantasma again?
sorry if I’m making it harder than it is, everyone is being very helpful answering the part of the question i already know. Not the part about how “often” can you use chronophantasma
Edit: yes i definitely was making harder than it is

Each Phantasm will only get the Chronophant Buff when they are first summoned through normal skill usage. Their “resummoned” variants will never get that Buff and will disappear permanently if you shatter them.
Thanks for the quick response, but i understand that part of how it works. What i have questions about is the “reset” for the Chronophant Buff, is there a icd for it? or does it reset after you ooc? or after the fight ends? or after meeting any other requirements? Bc “permanently” means you never get to use it again, and that sounds like a terrible GM trait to take.
So I’m creating this thread so I (and anyone who feels like it) can just post “okay, this is cool” whenever you find something new you like.
My turn: Superior Sigil of Absorption – Steal up to 3 boons when interrupting an enemy (no icd).
Because lolinterrupts.Is this in game?
I spotted it in the inventory of the Itzl vendor right at the entrance to the Verdant Brink. So you’ll need to up your Itzl masteries.
Not in sPvP, though, sadly.
Still for those who wvw a lot against all those boon happy classes it sounds like its worth checking out.
I’m finally on the forums!!!! yay!!! I laughed so much watching that vid Donee. I also liked how Holts forgot to turn off the sound on his version and you can hear all of you guys talking
