    That is already a thing, you can do both quickness an alacrity on chronomancer, and easier than you could do it back in the day thanks to StM.

     

    It doesn't happen because of 2 things.

     

    1.- Role compression

    For an optimal 10 man squad you need two squads with 1 healer, and 2 people providing alacrity and quickness at the same time.

    All classes that can provide these 3 things, can either do them while providing high dps, or it can heal doing one of the two.

    So compositions are either

    1 (heal+alacrity) + 1 (dps+quickess)

    or

    1 (dps+alacrity) + 1 (heal+quickess)

     

    With this you have 4 dps per subsquad.

     

    You can do alacrity and quickness on chrono, while providing low-medium dps, but then you also need a healer, which are usually low dps.

    So with a chrono and a tempest (druid is getting alacrity in June) you would have 3 dps per subsquad.

    Also, chrono doens't have access to might or fury or other offensive boons in the same way the other support classes do, so it would rely on the healer for most of it.

    Basically quick+alacrity chrono is a piece of the composition puzzle that has no matching piece it can attach itself to.

     

    2.- Wells are clunky as hell

    All other classes can either insta apply the boons or move the application field while applying it.

    Chrono requires you to stay into his fields for 3 seconds before getting anything at all.

     

     

    TL;DR: Chrono does work, but you need to go out of your way more often than not to fit it into your composition, doesn't bring the sweet dps others in a similar spot do and is really clunky.

    Maybe support chrono will get a (good) rework one of these days, but I wouldn't be counting on it anytime soon, or in the medium and even far future.

    Here we go ... 

    Good explain , but go beyond it.

    Go for clunky wells + heal.

    with alac + quick problem solved.

    [heal + alac + quick + tank]

    long story short, if ppl not near u they suck cuz they not buffed or dead. (:D)|=<
