CS is usually used right before costly burst combos as it allows you to do an entire rotation and then repeat it once Continuum Split ends and your CDs reset. | ||

Being a stun break which also breaks enemy targeting it's useful when you're getting focused by the enemy team and other defensive skills are on CD, and the 2 clones can be shattered immediately for burst damage (or a longer {{Skill|Distortion}} even). Alternatively if you're looking to do a quick burst feel free to use this skill to get your clone count up to 2 instantly, right before using a shatter skill. | ||

To me this is still great, when I get bored of deadeye this is what I hop onto. A good grav well burst can delete an entire team and there's no downtime, with alacrity and several other CD resets you can just keep going. Hard but worth learning.
Absolute beast in the right hands. Very high burst coupled with impactful CC skills and decent mobility makes this very effective in ranked. The F1 nerfs hurts its popularity a bit, but it's still more than viable.
Very powerful build with insane burst damage. Your sustain mostly comes through having so much overwhelming pressure that your enemy doesn't get the chance to respond. This is arguably the highest skill cap roamer/dps build, cd management and knowing when you have an opportunity to get a kill is crucial. If your'e good at this build it is probably the best build for ranked atm (depending on matchups). However, as the past couple of monthlies have shown its usage in highly organised play is limited by its weakness to sustained focus.
This is a very high skill cap required build. Playing as a one trick may earn you some cheese kills but you will die immediately when focused. However after recent buffs in the last 2 balance updates I now believe this to be the single most broken build in the entire game at the higher levels of play. You have just enough survival abilities to survive being briefly focused and enough damage and interruption to be a powerful duelist and broken teamfight nuker.
Very good build with great dps and CC, enjoy the shield and Seize the Moment on teamfight for quickness for your allies. Can reach high pvp level with this build without a doubt.
Edit: With the latest patch in mind, making shield mandatory for this build, it gives extra sustain through blocks, so taking eagle rune doesn’t feel bad anymore and is completely justified. I’d say this build might see more use as it can be quite dangerous if put in the right hands. Played in a daily tournament with this against most of the meta classes and actually destroyed them, surprisingly affective.
I'm at a point where I'd pay money to not get a chrono on my team. Maybe there are 5 people in this game who can pilot this to a degree where it's actually useful to the team but everyone else is simply griefing. It's too hard for the average player and unless you're a top player this isn't worth playing. Survivability is 0, the burst slaps I won't lie but if it doesn't land it's over for you. This is an overrated one-trick.
Wow. Just wow. anet is literally the greatest gaming(coke gaming) company ever. like wow this build is actually good i dont even have to log in for 2 years+ to know. This is the most fun i've ever had totally #pwning noobs in gw2 ranked ever! pls nerf mes too broke
With the recent changes, this build feels really good as a lot of things that really kept it in check have taken a backfoot in the meta or are simply not that oppressive anymore. If things continue to go this well, this build could really solidify itself as a really skill intensive, viable spec to play.
Full glass canon chrono build that wreck the entire enemy team in blink of an eye. However, if you are facing potent opponents you will have extremely low room for error.
