Power Chronomancer DPS Build

GW2. Raid Build. Power Chronomancer DPS. Quickness / Alacrity DPS. Mesmer PvE.

Role: DPS

The Power Chronomancer DPS is a mesmer build that relies on combos and phantasms to do great burst damage. It also provides great CC, survivability through blocks, powerful utilities, and the best boon ripping potential. However, it is difficult to pull off and easy for mechanics to interrupt its combos. The same build can provide Quickness or Alacrity with just a single trait change.

Basic Skill Priority:

• Use F1 with 3 Clones
• Sword 5 (or Greatsword 4)
• Dagger 2/3 (or Greatsword 2/3)
• Swap Weapon
• Well of Calamity
• Phantasmal Disenchanter

---

When Signet of the Ether is up, use it shortly after using your phantasm skills (Disenchanter/Sword 5/GS 4) and then recast them. If using Mantra of Pain, squeeze it in whenever you can for some extra damage, even using inside Continuum Split gives extra charges. Don’t use the final charge even inside CS.

Always open with your Continuum Split combo unless there will be a better opportunity to do so shortly after. Start it by getting three clones and since your phantasms can take a while to finish and generate its clones, fill in some damaging abilities. Gain clones in one weapon, then swap and perform the combo in the other. Which weapon you start in can be situational based on the timing of the encounter.

Pre-Split Clone Generation:

• Greatsword 4 > 3 > 2 > Phantasmal Disenchanter > Swap > Dagger 2 > 3 > Dagger/Sword CS
• Sword 5 > Dagger 2 > 3 > Phantasmal Disenchanter > Swap > Greatsword 2 > 3 > Greatsword CS

---

Continuum Split Burst:

• Greatsword 4 (or Sword 5) + Continuum Split (make sure to F5 before the phantasm cast finishes)
• Signet of the Ether
• Greatsword 4 (or Sword 5)
• Gravity Well
• Well of Calamity
• Phantasmal Disenchanter
• Dagger 2/3 (or GS 2/3)
• Repeat all of the above (except Gravity Well if you save it for CC)
• Swap Weapon

---

Traits

---

Alternatives

• Utility: to provide alacrity
• Utility: to provide quickness

---

NOTE: When providing Alacrity / Quickness to your team, prioritize using any of the Shatters when you have 3 clones even if your F1 isn’t off cooldown to maintain the boon uptime. Shatters may be delayed as it takes longer to generate clones since phantasms last longer before they convert into clones.
