Hey, I recently got my first character, a Mesmer, to 80 and I'm not sure if I should invest my first batch of points (nowhere near enough to max a specialisation out, though) into Virtuoso or Chronomancer. I tried to do some research and I got the impression that both can be decent in open world gameplay. But I also hear that Virtuoso needs the right gearing, which, as a relatively new player troubles me; while the Chronomancer appears to have a high skill floor, which also could be an issue.
For the record, I spend some time in a party, but also a lot of time playing alone.
Thanks in advance for any input you might have.
