Quickness/Alacrity Variant

---

Overview

The Condition Chronomancer is a more aggressive version of the tank mesmer build which still gives Quickness or Alacrity and some Aegis to allies; but is favorable for condition fights or when tanking a boss that has high attack speed, allowing great value on the Confusion it stacks up.

Playstyle

Role: Tank DPS

Always open with Scepter/Shield to gain clones fast and to preemptively give boons with Shield 4 Phantasms, try to block an attack to get the echo of the Shield 4 for 2 phantasms, then perform the Continuum Split combo:

Continuum Split Burst: 2/3 Clones > Shield 5/4 + Continuum Split > Swap to Pistol > Time Warp > (Use all shatters during Continuum Split) > Pistol 4 > Signet of the Ether > Pistol 4 > Axe 2 > Leave Continuum Rift > Repeat from Pistol 4

Always use Pistol 4 and Axe 2 off cooldown to deal damage and generate clones. Only swap to Scepter/Shield when your Axe/Pistol skills are on cooldown to use the Scepter 3. Always Shatter F2 Rewinder at 3 clones when on top of your party to give them quickness. After Shattering your F2, use the F3 in melee range with no clones to trigger your Akeem relic for more confusion (Pistol 5 as well).

CC: Pistol 5, Shield 5, F3, Signet of Domination, Signet of Humility/Gravity Well

DPS Variant

---

While the quickness variant of the build is great damage, sometimes your team does not need a tank for the fight or already has enough quickness, making the shield and quickness/alacrity traits unnecessary. This version of the Condition Chronomancer prioritizes only dealing damage so it uses a Torch.

When Continuum Rift is almost up, save your F2, Signet of the Ether (Heal Skill), Mirror Images, and one of your phantasms.

Continuum Rift Burst Order:

• Scepter auto attack to 2/3 clones
• Continuum Rift + Pistol 4 (or Torch 5)
• Signet of the Ether + Mirror Images + F2
• Pistol 4 + Axe 2/Scpeter 3
• Leave Continuum Rift and repeat
• Pistol 4
• Signet of the Ether + Mirror Images + F2
• Pistol 4 + Axe 2/Scepter 3

Skill Priority:

When continuum rift is on cooldown, prioritize swapping weapon off cooldown and using 4 and 5 in both weapon sets. Only use F2 while at three clones, so auto attack on Scepter, use Axe 2, or use Mirror Images to get there, but if F2 is on cooldown by the time you get to three clones, use Scepter 3 or Axe 3. Use Scepter 2 when you can block an attack for faster clone generation and extra damage.
