Hackuuna.4085 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Looks fun but looks like a significant dps loss compared to the axe clone mirage from pre-patch in a realistic fractal run. This is probably due to the axe mirage being able to evade most of the dangerous mechanics while maintaining dps and of course confusion being in a much better state than now.

Yeah that was a huge bummer for me. I had to re-acquaintance myself with mechanics too x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ojimaru.8970 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Great job and thanks for sharing!Would it be a bigger DPS boost to use Continuum Shift at 3 stacks to cast Phantasmal Swordsman and Disenchanter, or Phantasmal Swordsman into Signet reset into Swordsman?

Mastering continuum splits is whats going to set you apart on this build. It's a bit difficult in terms of timing and clone generation. But once you get it flowing into your rotation its for sure a DPS increase. I'm not sure when exactly to do it. But I'd say its safe to say when 3 are up you want to Split for a Wrack sword, disenchanter, warden, and signet heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik.7560 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 good to see that build working well!did testing myself as well @dontlook.1823 said:@Ojimaru.8970 said:Great job and thanks for sharing!Would it be a bigger DPS boost to use Continuum Shift at 3 stacks to cast Phantasmal Swordsman and Disenchanter, or Phantasmal Swordsman into Signet reset into Swordsman?Oh, without a doubt.

Feersum Endjinn.4179 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Great, but you will still be asked to give quickness and alacrity if there aren't two other chronos, so yeah, that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Resulting in a permanent +30% chance to crit.) Plus, of course, Scholar runes are permanently triggered because player health never went below 100%. So this is more illustrative of an idea than proof of concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is more illustrative of an idea than proof of concept.Yes, under normal circumstances, I deem it highly unlikely that an enemy would have permanent Slow applied to it. Not only does this mean Danger Time would give the Chronomancer a permanent 30% Critical Chance, but--thanks to the update--also an extra 10% Critical Damage bonus.On the other hand, having the bonus damage from Scholar runes is more feasible thanks to most compositions running healers, plus the fact that Chronomancer Wells now also provide a decent amount of healing (7k+ with Well of Eternity, 2k+ with other Wells).
