But i’ve heard going chaos in the second line with staff instead of GS is good for higher clone uptime, but that was before the change to incoming pet damage.
What armor/runes/sigils are you using? I’ve been trying to figure this out with most builds but you didn’t fill that part out. Is this build for zerker or condi gear?
I don’t own any sinister armor but if I have to go condi would rampager be a good placeholder?
I was using zerker with scholar runes since thats what i had from before hot. not sure if it’ll change. If they fix the chrono rune quickness stacking maybe that or travellers

I felt like Chrono was in a fantastic place. I’ve mainly been grinding Hero Points with Chrono (100% unlocked!!) and Rev, and it felt like Chrono just had more to offer.
It seemed that the longer the fight went on the more powerful I would get since I had an insane timer on Alacrity (easily got 20+ seconds of it), and the whole flexibility of being able to shatter Phantasms (since I focus on Phant builds) is very stress relieving. Time Marches On was just icing on the cake.
The wells are very powerful but also offer versatility at the same time. Their potential is also furthered by traits/runes.
Overall, I enjoy that Chrono is a very versatile and complicated class. In the right hands the Elite Class can be a very very powerful asset, but at the same time it can turn out to be a total wash if the player doesn’t know the full potential of the class’s syngery.
Edit: The pink/purple flames from Alacrity made me feel like I went Super Saiyan on my Chrono as well.
It sucks, but look at it this way. The original game cost $60 and has been out for 3+ years with regular content updates, new features and a large playerbase, on top of this there has never been a sub for it or anything you needed to purchase.
I consider that once off purchase to be great value for money considering when i buy a game nowdays i’m usually finished with it within a few weeks.
HoT will continue to receive the same attention and updates that the original did, just because fractals havent gotten much love now doesnt mean there wont be big positive changes down the line, sure fractals werent even something that was included or promised when the game originally released, they were added in later at no extra cost.
If i get anywhere near the same thing from HoT i think its worth every cent.
Well, it does 10% extra damage per condition on your target and attacks every 4 secs or so. Its not the worst to add a little burst pressure to your attacks, but i agree, It should apply a stack of torment or confusion for 5 seconds on hit, would suit it alot more.
Still have no idea how this is supposed to be played!
Do you pop your phantasm’s and a clone and f5 – timewarp well spam then cycle wells untill the next f5 with phantasm’s giving alcricity and repeat?
I returned to the game two days ago after over a year off, absolutely gutted about just missing the wings. Think they’ll be coming back in the near future?
I also decided I’d quickly go into a game and get the combat log, met a guy in like 20 seconds and one shot him, was a s/d thief and I didn’t even get to use Zealot’s Fire or Shield of Wrath (missing out on a potential 12k on a low armour target) and it landed in less than 1 second.
I might be missing something here, but how did you hit with faithful strike without going through the rest of the mace chain first?, since you had just swapped weapons.
Healway guardian or AH build. Healway is more group support based but its damage is on the very low side of things and its suceptable to boon stripping.
AH is a bit more dps but you’re giving up group healing for self healing.
I personally prefer the second as i think it feels more dynamic.
All the guides i’ve been looking at are directed at power builds running wells. i get this, the more you hit the more you tag and more wxp and loot you get, however my necro is fully geared already in condition gear and i cant afford to regear it. is there a build out there that focus’s on conditions for wvw?
Would it be worth running a well build anyway?
In a zerg situation would you keep your current gear or would you swap it out for a invader or cleric set or something so you can get in deep and cc everything?
Use the endurance food.
I used Sword/Focus for the first phase and scepter/focus for the second phase.
I was using an AH build but it doesnt make much difference which build. Just have a way of giving yourself regen, Like a shout or something.
Kill the black orbs with your sword once they pop, sword teleport can help for this. Try stay out of the aoe, if you cant get out of it count to 3 and dodge, if you have no endurance use focus 5., In phase 2 just spam scepter attacks while rotating around the arena in the safe zone and killing orbs.
5 games in a row vs premades where people just left after the start
if you’re anyway interested in getting up the leaderboards you have to get a team, which is stupid.
<Player looking for a team>
Ingame name: Derry.2789
Main Class / Potential Classes (Incase team requires): Mesmer main
Region: EU
Practice Times: Most evenings
Experience: r29, 310 tournamets played
Have TS ect, floating between 600 and 95% on leaderboard from solo games
I’m looking for a perminant team to progress with
As the title says, are there any active guilds that play actively play tournaments?, most of what I see is pve guilds with like 10 members that sometimes do pvp at a fairly low level.
I’m looking for something more dedicated. Rank 28 ATM
Hi, is there any guilds out there (EU), which focus on Tourni’s with teamspeak ect and have a community, never see any advertising. If any are around could you send me a ingame mail with information on it. Thanks.
There’s too many players on the leaderboard who are inactive and clogging up spots. people who have only played 10-20 games and havent played in months or weeks and they’re still there.
Please remove people from the leaderboards if they dont do like, 10 tourni’s every 2 weeks or so.
I recently started doing pvp because of the dailies. Still have mixed feelings about pvp, but I have some form of respect for it now that i didn’t earlier.
However with this update, bye bye Anet. Not gonna consume time for just lousy achievements.
Your reason for doing stuff in a game should be for fun, not to just tick a box
The leaderboard is clogged with people who haven’t played many games keeping proper players off it for pvp. How about not including people in the leaderboard if they have less than 100 games played?
I’ve been noticing lately i’m getting alot of games starting 4v5, every third game today nearly. This wasnt happening before.
I had thought that the game forces you in if you queue’d no matter what you’re doing?
Or is it that everyone’s queing and then logging off when it pops?
This is an automatic loss pretty much.
If you’re running in large groups staff is easily the best weapon. Auto attack tags every enemy nearly, you have a area denial attack which is great in wvw and empower is like a extra heal if you have AH
I’ve noticed that 1v3 i will still go down pretty fast using that bunker build, but still, thats expected. Shortbow rangers and necro’s are my nemesis.
How do you run so smooth without tanking the graphics?
i have a fairly new comp but zergs with char quality and char limit turned up make it extremely laggy
Game over
Atm its new and refreshing and fun, if it stays, 4 months down the line it will be old and stale and boring. I want the dev teams to be able to focus on introducing more new things throughout the life of the game and not be tied up updating stuff like this.
Get other low levels to do it with you, like all low levels, and then you all are playing off the same level so nobody will feel like anyone’s gimping the group. It might be viable then if you keep rerunning the lvl 1-2 fractals.
Hi, I’m hoping to get started on WvW on my guardian as i’ve done all the other aspects of the game (Spvp,, Tpvp Pve, Dungeons, fractals, exploration), and i’m wondering the best way to go about it.
Should i just find a commander on my side and latch onto them, or would i be better off trying to get a small group together and roaming with that?
I dont understand the dynamics of WvW and how actions affect the end result, so it will all be a learning experience for me.
I play a AH hammer guardian geared in knights and berserkers if that makes any difference. Thinking of swapping my rings for soldier stat rings for more survivability.
Any advice would be apreciated

You wouldnt really need it to be account bound as the price of lodestones would drop. it takes around 2 hours or more to get 40k karma. lodestones would be around 1g maybe. 40k karma takes longer to get than a gold.
Its just an alternative.
