Worst??

I would bet spirit weapons guardian.

Those thing were designed to not work or be complete useless, now that they are super mega predictable due delay on activation plus cast time.

I’m still yet waiting for Anet to fix them....

Arcane skill slotted can hit for 5k and you get 2 uses.Also when traited you can Meteor Shower to Earth and Arcane blast some immobilization onto people caught in MS.

Ran Lightning Rod for the extra procs, felt like I needed more damage on my rotations because without it earth and air were seriously lacking damage.it was also handy to deal with clones this way.

Doesn't this thread theoretically disprove your 1st point?Suggest those "90% of builds" and see how the OP goes.

Then shouldn't you be gone if it's a dead company/game? Makes no sense to still be here if it's 'over'.

[Vague Memory.2817]

Power Chrono. Totally useless in PvP now. No buildable stability and hard to work any decent condi cleanse into your build without severely nerfing your damage. Even when you build for damage it isn't competitive. Try it and you'll see what I mean. It got repeatedly hit with the nerf bat one too many times and is now comparable to some classes' core specs.

Trust me. I've tried almost every permeation of builds for power chron and they are all useless. I pretty sure all serious mes on the forums would agree.

Your first build has absolutely no condi cleanse or stability at all with a zerker amulet no less. That build will last approx. 5secs against any semi decent condi spec player/team with Scourge, Gravedigger, Mirage etc., and any spec/team that has copious amounts of CC (engis, fear necros etc.) you will be chain bounced around like a ping pong ball before you get a shot off. This used to be my favourite build a long time ago where you could get away with no condi cleanse or stab as a power chron, but those days are gone with the current crop of Elites and even the last gen elites. I'm sure it still has great use in a good team, but lets face it, you can get away with most builds in a good team. Most pugs aren't great teams, and almost all teams are not pre-mades. Overall very little sustain build.

The second build has pretty good sustainability and probaly the best condi cleanse you'll get on mes (which is pretty poor in the current meta), but is no bunker by an stretch of the imagination. But the most important thing is the damage output is just way too weak. Very unlikely to take down other classes specs including their core specs outside of a team fight, or you'll be fighting any good sustain spec for days hoping that the first person to arrive to break the deadlock is on your team. As soon as you take the inspiration line you lose a significant amount dps on any mes power build. On top of that mixing power weapons with staff (condi) means you are splitting the weak dps even further since you've most chosen a power amulet. Tried signet builds, and the cds are just too long for good use these days. Don't get me wrong, I've had great fun using GS and Staff together if you trait it right, but you are not going to turn a fight outside of a good team (i.e. good support).

Well double grav well is going to be good no matter what your build is :) But when you are building around your Elite skill, you know your spec is in trouble. basically the history of chrono has been buff to be strong and then nerf it to uselessness, and with the recent changes to core traits it has hit chrono even harder. I still play power chrono because I still enjoy he playstyle, but it still sucks and really isn't competitive. Chrono is actually just below perfect balance, the problem is other classes' specs are very overtuned in comparison, so it makes it not overall competitive. As soon as they started nerfing core traits to try and balance Mirage, they made power builds even weaker than before. Note stability and condi cleanse has been nerfed previously despite it not being good in the first place due to trait line placement.

@Falan.1839 said:You can obviously always just pick mismatching Amulets/traits (like Condi Engi with Zerk Amulet or smth) to make it deliberately bad. Out of the builds that are at least supposed to make some kind of sense, Core Zerk Staff Ele is probably one of the hottest contenders. Banner warrior is probably a close match.

I made it to plat 2 a few seasons ago with core zerk Ele. Some games with ice bow, some with flame axe. Good fun
