{{MBuild
| profession = mesmer
| specialization = chronomancer
| designed for = fractals
| focus = direct damage, utility, boon support
| rating = archived
| xpac = hot
}}

==Overview==
: Support Chrono is a boon support that provides enough {{gw2skill|Quickness}} and {{gw2skill|Alacrity}} uptime for its party to clear encounters. This massively increases the group's damage and healing output due to faster cast times and lower cooldowns. In addition, it can increase group wide boon uptime through {{Skill|Signet of Inspiration}}, and skip mechanics in fractals using {{Skill|Blink}}, {{Skill|Feedback}}, {{Skill|Mass Invisibility}}, and {{Skill|Portal Entre}}.

: Following various nerfs to its boon sharing capabilities Chronomancer is no longer mandatory in fractals, however it is still able to maintain Quickness and Alacrity uptime while doing more DPS than ever.

:For a variant of this build specialized for no-healer comps see [[Build:Chronomancer - Boon Support Healer]].

:This guide is focused on fractals. For the raid version see [[Build:Chronomancer - Utility Boon Support]].

==Skill Bar==
{{Skillbar
| profession = mesmer
| specialization = chronomancer
| set1 = sword, shield
| set2 = x, focus
| healing = Well of Eternity
| utility1 = Signet of Inspiration
| utility2 = Well of Recall
| utility3 = Well of Action
| elite = Gravity Well
}}

===Weapon Variants===
:'''Sword/Shield''' is mandatory but '''Focus''' can be replaced if there's nothing to pull with {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}}:


{{Skills/Mesmer|x/Sword}}
* '''Sword''' provides higher damage and a personal block.


{{Skills/Mesmer|x/Pistol}}
* '''Pistol''' provides 200 extra breakbar damage from {{Skill|Magic Bullet}} (260 with {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Paralyzation}}). This is useful if you need to CC a lot (e.g. MAMA and its Watchknights).


{{Skills/Mesmer|Greatsword}}
* In extremely short fights, it's possible to replace your offhand weapon with a Greatsword to push out more burst damage. This is not recommended unless you're in a highly experienced static.

===Slot Changes===
'''Healing Skills'''
* {{Skill|Signet of the Ether}} can be taken in low pressure fights for higher personal DPS. If you run this make sure your group can maintain {{Rune|the Scholar}} uptime as dropping below 90% will be a much larger DPS loss.


'''Utility Skills'''
:As fractal fights are often very short, you have some leeway to replace your boon-sharing skills with various utility skills. If needed, you can swap out {{Skill|Well of Action}} and fill quickness with {{Skill|Time Warp}}.
* {{Skill|Feedback}} if reflects are needed, particularly useful on the elemental in the Snowblind fractal.
* {{Skill|Well of Precognition}} to provides aegis and stability to your group.
* {{Skill|Phantasmal Disenchanter}} if boon removal is needed.
* {{Skill|Null Field}} if you need to deal with both boons and conditions.
* {{Skill|Blink}}, {{Skill|Portal Entre}}, and {{Skill|Mimic}} for teleport skips.


'''Elite Skills'''
* {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} provides faster CC than {{Skill|Gravity Well}}, useful if timing is extremely important (e.g. interrupting CM Ensolyss's slam).
* {{Skill|Time Warp}} if the CC from {{Skill|Gravity Well}} or {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} is not required. If you swapped out {{Skill|Well of Action}} this skill is mandatory.
* {{Skill|Mass Invisibility}} for stealth skips (combined with {{Trait|Prismatic Understanding}}).

==Specializations==
:Dueling/Domination is the standard trait setup for fractals. It grants strong DPS, as well as good CC which is enhanced by {{Trait|Confounding Suggestions}}. <br>

{{Specialization|Dueling|top|bot|top}}
{{Specialization|Domination|mid|mid|mid}}
{{Specialization|Chronomancer|mid|bot|bot}}
'''Variants'''
* {{Trait|Shattered Concentration}} if boonstrip is required.
* {{Trait|Empowered Illusions}} if you don't require the additional CC from {{Trait|Confounding Suggestions}}.
* {{Trait|All's Well That Ends Well}} if your group needs some extra minor healing.
<br>
* You can replace '''Domination''' with '''Inspiration''' if your group needs aegis from {{Trait|Blurred Inscriptions}} to prevent incoming damage, however you lose a significant amount of personal DPS and CC with this swap.
{{Specialization|Inspiration|top|mid|bot|variant=yes}}
'''Variants (Inspiration)'''
* {{Trait|Warden's Feedback}} if you're using a focus offhand
* {{Trait|Sympathetic Visage}} if the reflects from {{Trait|Medic's Feedback}} are an issue.

==Equipment==
:There are many variations of gear for Chronomancer and some of them can be difficult to acquire, however they all share a common goal in their stat choices which is to reach enough boon duration to maintain sufficient boons for their group. The required boon duration will depend on the skill of you and your group, which is particularly relevant in fractals as skilled groups can often kill or phase bosses extremely quickly, allowing their Chronomancers to maintain Quickness and Alacrity with very low amounts of boon duration.

:Remember to get a '''sword,''' '''focus,''' and '''shield''' offhand.

===Standard Variant===

:The suggested gear here provides you with enough boon duration (65%) to comfortable sustain boons on your group, without trading off too much damage. Theoretically you can drop to as low as 25% boon duration wearing full berserker gear to gain extra personal DPS while still maintaining boons, however that is not recommended unless you are very confident that mistakes won't occur. With this 65% boon duration setup you may need to use {{Skill|Time Warp}} to keep up quickness if encounters are extending past ~55 seconds in length.

:The following gear assumes you're not able to use any [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infusion#Attribute_Infusions Infusions] to gain extra concentration. If you can use infusions, you can use [http://old.discretize.eu/ dT's gear optimizer] to decide what combination of gear will be best for you to use. Note that it assumes you will be using the buffs from your Fractal Potions with 150 Agony Resistance, so if you don't regularly use fractal potions you will need to gain extra concentration from your gear.
: {{PvE equipment
| stats = Assassin
| rarity = Ascended
| runes = 6 Superior Rune of the Pack
| infusions = 18 Mighty +5 Agony Infusion
| s1w1 = Ascended, Assassin, Sword, Superior Sigil of Concentration
| s1w2 = Ascended, Berserker, Shield, Superior Sigil of Force
| s2w2 = Ascended, Berserker, Focus, Superior Sigil of Force

| amulet = Ascended, Diviner
| ring2 = Ascended, Berserker
| accessory1 = Ascended, Berserker
| accessory2 = Ascended, Diviner
| back = Ascended, Diviner
}}

===Max Boon Duration Variant===

:If you're running with a group from LFG where you can't be sure of player skill, or with a generally inexperienced group you may want to run 100% boon duration to ensure boons stay up even with things being less than ideal. In those suggestions, the following gear setup is suggested. Once again, note that it assumes you will be using the buffs from your Fractal Potions with 150 Agony Resistance, so if you don't regularly use fractal potions you will need to gain extra concentration from your gear.

: {{PvE equipment
| stats = Diviner
| rarity = Ascended
| runes = 6 Superior Rune of the Pack
| infusions = 18 Mighty +5 Agony Infusion
| s1w1 = Ascended, Diviner, Sword, Superior Sigil of Concentration
| s1w2 = Ascended, Diviner, Shield, Superior Sigil of Force
| s2w2 = Ascended, Diviner, Focus, Superior Sigil of Force
| head = Ascended, Assassin
| shoulders = Ascended, Assassin
| ring1 = Ascended, Assassin
| accessory1 = Ascended, Assassin
| hands =  Ascended, Assassin
| feet = Ascended, Assassin
}}

===Other Variants===
* {{Sigil|Superior Sigil of Paralyzation}} can be put on your shield for significantly better CC from {{Skill|Tides of Time}} (as long as you stay on your shield while the projectile is active). It should also be put on your pistol if you're running one.
* {{Rune|Superior Rune of the Scholar}} can be used if your group doesn't need the fury from Pack Runes. Note that if you're running scholar runes you'll likely want to pick up extra boon duration from your gear as you lose 15% swapping from Pack to Scholar.

==Consumables==
:'''Food:'''
* {{Food|Soul Pastry}}
* {{Food|Bowl of Sweet and Spicy Butternut Squash Soup}} if you don't need extra boon duration.

:'''Utility:'''
* {{Utility|Superior Sharpening Stone}}

==Usage==
See [[Build:Chronomancer_-_Utility_Boon_Support#Usage]] for general usage information.

===Fractals-Specific Tips===
* Fractal fights don't last as long as raids, so making sure you have a good opening burst is very important. You want to get Quickness and Alacrity onto your party as soon as possible, then fire off your high damage skills like {{Skill|Blurred Frenzy}} and {{Skill|Phantasmal Swordsman}}!
* Remember that {{Skill|Continuum Split}} also makes you teleport to your original location when it ends. Be wary of your positioning when using it. Abort it if it's going to kill you on the return teleport (e.g. teleporting you off the platform on Arkk).
* On fights where CC is important, like MAMA, you should always save {{Skill|Continuum Split}} to cast {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} rather than boon-sharing.
* {{skill chain|Illusionary Leap}} can be used on mechanics such as Snowblind elementals or Volcanic grawl shamans to immobilize them in emergencies.



===Portal mechanic usage===
* Use the combined power of {{gw2skill|Blink}} and {{gw2skill|Portal Entre}} to allow for faster group movement and skips. 
* Some techniques require a reverse {{gw2skill|Portal Entre}}, first place {{gw2skill|Portal Entre}} then waypoint back to place {{gw2skill|Portal Exeunt}} for your team.
* For a second {{gw2skill|Portal Entre}} you need to use {{gw2skill|Mimic}} just before opening the {{gw2skill| Portal Exeunt}}. Your first portal will stop working as soon as your cast the second {{gw2skill|Portal Entre}}.

* Use {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} and {{Skill|Gravity Well}} to control trash mobs.

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Chaos'''
</div>
<div>
* You can use {{Skill|Mass Invisibility}} in {{Skill|Continuum Split}} with {{Trait|Prismatic Understanding}} traited to skip the Uncategorized-like jumping section. Once you reach the cat golems, walk forward to trigger the checkpoint, then the entire party can /gg and respawn there.

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Molten Boss'''
</div>
<div>
* Use {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} and {{Skill|Gravity Well}} to control trash mobs. Prioritize Molten Protectors, as CC interrupts their invulnerability skill.
* Stability from Chaos/Inspiration is very useful here to avoid getting knocked down by shockwaves.
* Use {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} to instantly break the defiance bar of each end boss. When adds spawn, use {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} to pull them under the boss.
* In an experienced static, you may be asked to run ahead and portal the group. To do this, place {{Skill|Portal Entre}} and run ahead while the main group kills enemies. When the Elite has been killed, opening the path to the next section, place your {{Skill|Portal Exeunt}} and have everyone /gg and take the portal. Repeat until you reach the end boss.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Volcanic'''
</div>
<div>

* Use {{Skill chain|Illusionary Leap}} to immobilize grawl shamans before they reach the captives.
* Use {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} to instantly break the Grawl Shaman boss's defiance bar.
* Instead of running through the mines and bats to get to the end boss, you can drop down onto a small ledge where the Grawl Shaman boss's platform meets the rock face. From there you can drop into the lava and use {{Skill|Mimic}} and {{Skill|Blink}} to skip to the final boss area. Once you've reached solid ground, the party can /gg and respawn next to the Mistlock Singularity.
* {{Skill|Feedback}} and {{Skill|Well of Eternity}} are very useful for sustaining your party through the final boss's invuln phases and Lava Elementals. Use {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} to pull them together and quickly cleave them down under your reflect.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Mai Trin'''
</div>

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Aetherblade'''
</div>
<div>
* Use {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} and {{Skill|Gravity Well}} to control trash mobs.
* Instead of running across the electrified floor, you can {{Skill|Blink}} through the floor from below and bypass it entirely. From there, use the condition cleanse from {{Skill|Well of Eternity}} and {{Trait|Restorative Illusions}} to self-cleanse the immobilize and pull all the switches at the top.
* You can also use {{Skill|Blink}} and {{Skill|Mimic}} to solo the spinning laser room. When someone walks up and triggers the laser room, there is a short animation before the lasers actually activate. You can take advantage of this delay by using {{Skill|Blink}} to teleport up through the floor. If you're fast enough with {{Skill|Blink}}, {{Skill|Mimic}}, and condition cleanse, you can pull all four switches by yourself without getting hit by any of the lasers.
* If you aren't confident in soloing either of these parts, you can instead {{Skill|Blink}} up and drop a {{Skill|Portal Exeunt}}. This way your party can split up and use their individual mobility skills to quickly activate switches.
* Get your party to /gg after each of these tricks so that you can reset your cooldowns.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Nightmare'''
</div>
<div>
'''MAMA'''

* Use {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}} to pull adds into the boss.
* Save {{Skill|Distortion}} to block MAMA's spin attack, or to save you and your party from a bad AoE.
* (Challenge Mote) The CC from {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} and {{Skill|Tides of Time}} is paramount here. Try to instantly CC every Watchknight that spawns, as this significantly eases the burden on other players.

'''Altars'''
* (Challenge Mote) The safe strategy is to {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} the Krait and kill them, then do the altars.
* (Challenge Mote) An alternate strategy is to {{Skill|Mass Invisibility}} through the mobs, then {{Skill|Portal Entre}} your party to the far end of the center altar. This lets you do the altar without fighting the Krait, but falls apart if anyone aggros them by accident.

'''Siax'''
* Use {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} and {{Skill|Tides of Time}} to break Siax's bar during each CC phase.
* You can pull Volatile Nightmares away from the group with {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} before they explode.
* (Challenge Mote) As the Chronomancer you are normally assigned to duo one of the adds with the Druid. Before going in, place your personal marker to notify your party members about which add you're doing.
* (Challenge Mote) During the split phase, use your {{Skill|Blurred Frenzy}}, {{Skill|Phantasmal Warden}}, and autoattacks to easily kill your add. Save your boon sharing skills until the split phase ends and everyone groups up in the center.

'''Ensolyss'''
* The Stability share from Chaos/Inspiration is useful here since many of Ensolyss's attacks inflict CC.
* You can use {{Skill|Echo of Memory}}, {{Skill|Blurred Frenzy}}, or {{Skill|Distortion}} to avoid Ensolyss's attacks.
* (Challenge Mote) Timing your CC is crucial here. Try to pop {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} and {{Skill|Tides of Time}} at the same time as Ensolyss does his slam attack. If done right, the combined CC of you and your party members will interrupt Ensolyss mid-slam and make it go on cooldown.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Shattered Observatory'''
</div>
<div>
'''Skorvald'''
* Instantly break Skorvald's defiance bar with {{Skill|Signet of Humility}}.
* The Stability share from Chaos/Inspiration is useful here since many of Skorvald's attacks knockback.

'''Viirastra/Artsariiv'''
* Your CC contribution is very high, so make sure you're going around killing clones. Use {{Skill|Tides of Time}} and {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} to quickly pop them.
* In organized groups the Warrior usually solos the marble, but in a pinch you can also do marbles without losing too much group DPS. Just remember to do your boonshare rotation before you leave.
* Break the boss's defiance bar with {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} immediately after every marble for maximum burst damage.

'''Arkk'''
* Break every defiance bar instantly with {{Skill|Signet of Humility}}.
* Use {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}} to pull adds together if needed.
* Be careful of using {{Skill|Continuum Split}} during the last phase, as you might teleport yourself onto a platform that's disappeared.

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Ascalonian Catacombs'''

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Caudecus's Manor'''
</div>
<div>
* {{Skill|Feedback}} is very strong here as most of the mobs use projectile attacks. Chaos/Inspiration is also useful for the stability share.
* In Path 2, when running kegs to the gate, you can place a portal at each end to greatly simplify the process.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Twilight Arbor'''
</div>
<div>
* If no one has a ranged attack, you can bring a greatsword and use {{Skill|Spatial Surge}} to clear Volatile Blossoms.
* In Aetherpath, you can chain {{Skill|Feedback}} with {{Skill|Mimic}} and {{Skill|Continuum Split}} to escort the oozes in the lava room, as the lava elementals' attacks are projectiles. You can also use {{Skill chain|Temporal Curtain}} for add control as the oozes are not affected by pulls.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Sorrow's Embrace'''
</div>
<div>
* {{Skill|Feedback}} is very strong here as most of the mobs use projectile attacks. Chaos/Inspiration is also useful for the stability share.
* In Path 2 you can ignore the Taskmaster's mechanic and just break his bar with {{Skill|Signet of Humility}} the moment you aggro him. This gives you a 10 second window in which he can easily be burned down.
</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Citadel of Flame'''
</div>
<div>
* In Path 1, you can easily cheese the boulder room with {{Skill|Blink}} and {{Skill|Portal Entre}}.
* In Path 3, use your stealth skills, {{Skill|Mimic}}, and {{Skill|Blink}} to get through the exploding bomb corridor without triggering any of the bombs.

<div class="accordNext">'''Honor of the Waves'''

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''Crucible of Eternity'''
</div>
* You can effortlessly bypass the laser corridor with {{Skill|Blink}} and {{Skill|Portal Entre}}.

</div>

<div class="accordNext">'''The Ruined City of Arah'''
</div>
* The stability share from Chaos/Inspiration is useful here as almost every enemy has some form of annoying CC. {{Skill|Well of Eternity}} is also strong for condition cleanse.
* Use {{Skill|Temporal Curtain}} and {{Skill|Gravity Well}} to control trash mobs.
* {{Skill|Feedback}} can protect your team from Lupicus's projectile storm. If you push Lupicus up against the wall, you can reflect all the projectiles for massive damage.
* In Path 1, the final boss's projectiles can be reflected by {{Skill|Feedback}} so just chain it with {{Skill|Mimic}} and {{Skill|Continuum Split}} and burst him down.
* In Path 2, you can use your stealth skills, {{Skill|Mimic}}, and {{Skill|Blink}} to solo skip the golem cave. (Make sure not to get put in combat and to {{Skill|Blink}} past the turret at the end.) Once you're through you can slot {{Skill|Portal Entre}} and waypoint back to port the rest of the group.
* In Path 2, slot {{Skill|Feedback}} and use line of sight aggro to pull Alphard, Serpent of the Waves behind the left wall, this effectively turns her into a DPS golem.
* In Path 3 and Path 4, you can solo the Corrupted Light run with {{Skill|Portal Entre}}, {{Skill|Mimic}}, and {{Skill|Blink}}. Slot {{Trait|Restorative Mantras}} and {{Skill|Mantra of Recovery}} for more healing.
