GW2. WvW Build. Condition Chronomancer Roaming Build. Mesmer World vs World 2023.
Last Update: May 2023
Burst Variant
The Condition Shatter Chronomancer is a high burst roaming mesmer build that generates massive amounts of clones to shatter which also translates to alacrity due to the Chronomancer traits, thus giving them more clones to shatter.
Synergy
Pistol and Torch phantasms get great synergy from Chronophantasma because their conditions do not get reduced on the second phantasm, making the trait double the damage they deal. The Signet of Ether passive heals for 300 each illusion you summon, and since Chronophantasma summons a phantasm twice before it becomes a clone, it triggers this three times, giving you 900 healing per phantasm cast (if the active has not been used)
You also gain extra clones when dodging and when shattering at 3 clones due to the Dueling and Chronomancer traits. This allows you to constantly shatter at full power while also making it hard for enemies handle constant clone pressure.
Playstyle
Generate clones by using Sword or Scepter skills or dodging. Use phantasms if you don’t intend to enter Continuum Rift before their next cooldown. Shatter when you get to three clones which will give another clone and then use Mirror Images to get you to three clones again. Your main burst shatters are F2 and F3, but the F1 will also give torment.
Continuum Split F5 is where your burst combos happen, and you can get creative with it. Any cooldowns used while inside it will immediately return after leaving the Rift. Use your Mirror Images inside it and shatter them to be able to gain many more clones to shatter (the clones persist but your cooldowns don’t). Endurance also gets returned to you, so dodging to gain more clones in continuum rift is another way to make massive clone combos. Also Stealth skills will be recharged but the stealth you gain from them will remain.
Continuum Rift Combo: Gain three clones > Continuum Split > Pistol 5 > 4 > Mirror Images > F2 > Mantra of Distraction > Dodge > F3/F1 > Swap > Torch 5 > 4 > Leave Continuum > Torch 5 > Sword 3 > 3 > Mirror Images + F2 > Dodge > F3/F1

Gameplay
Stealth Variant
While having less damage output and combo potential, this variant of the Condition Chronomancer uses the Chaos traits with Prismatic Understanding to bide time in stealth in between its burst combos instead of following through with more elaborate combos.
Stealth used while in Continuum Split will persist after the Rift ends, allowing you to get even more stealth out of your combos. While your phantasms can be used at range in stealth and not reveal you, there are some attacks you need to be careful to not reveal yourself:
- Staff auto attack bounces and can take a while to finish doing damage before it dissipates
- Shatters need to reach their target before they deal their damage (F3 does not have a packet of damage)
- Chaos Storm (Staff 5) will pulse damage
Continuum Rift Combo: Gain three clones > Continuum Split > Torch 4 > 5 > Mirror Images > F2 > Staff 3 > 4 > 2 > F3/F1 > Leave Continuum > Staff 3 > 4 > 2 > Mirror Images + F2 > F3/F1
