Power Chronomancer DPS Build

Posted on by Vallun

GW2. Raid Build. Power Chronomancer DPS. Mesmer PvE.

Last Update: January 2024

Overview

The Power Chronomancer is a DPS 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.

Playstyle

Role: DPS

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.

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:

Greatsword 4 > 3 > 2 > Phantasmal Disenchanter > Swap > Dagger 2 > 3 then go into the burst combo.

Continuum Split Burst:

  • Sword 5 (or GS 4) + Continuum Split
  • Signet of the Ether
  • Sword 5 (or GS 4)
  • 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
