If you enjoyed getting jump scared by my inventory opening or listening to me mumble my skills to some sky pirates, make sure to like the video and subscribe!
When I came back to the game I used that all-in-one build you had a few years ago and it was great; Mesmer was my main back in core, and you helped me so much to understand the new e-specs. Thank you so much for these guides Vallun! Going to try this build too!
Love the remark:” that’s pretty much it, nothing much to it” and then looking at the difficult rating on guildjen 😂 you make it look SO easy. I’m taking my Mesmer out for a spin after seeing this 🎉
I've only just started GW2. 7-8 hours in and just bought the bundle with all the xpacs. I've just been cruising around getting an idea of what every ...professions... play in ways that I think I'd enjoy. This looks fun xD
more like this for all clases please I would like to use them on my alts and they really do look fun! I feel like it'd give me a reason to play my least played classes.
exactly 2 hours ago I watched a video of Coffeinated Dad with you playing WvW and thought about watch if I find a Video of Mesmer / Thief of you. And now look! You posted one now 😂 Thx for all your work Vallun! ❤ Btw - good gameplay!
Yep Pulling out...... Larry Whodimi my main dps Mesmer bye mirage hello phantasm chrono, was theory crafting a build like this but didnt know it was already out their GG.
Awesome video, I was wondering if I should become a mesmer main myself, love the skill and the hole concept. Question, did you make another legendary great sword just for that skin? because I was thinking about doing the same thing iI have sunrise already. great content btw.
Thank you so much! Ive been thinking about mesmer lately and this is so handy!!! Im really into WvW right now, you think this one will work or support chrono is the way to go?
My old power-shatter chronomancer build was getting a bit old, so this is the perfect thing to spice it up!! I do wonder if the new spears have any use for chronomancer, as well? 🤔
Omg with the new chrono pve heal build and this, I’m gonna have a lot fun with this spec. Do you also recommend going Inspiration trait line when soloing open world champs and legendaries?
It is doable imo (replacing the domination) but that build relies on both illusion and domination traitline to deal damage. So you can use it, but you can feel the damage difference.
What do you think about using the duelist traitline over domination and switching the relic to the new Zakiros? Seems like a minor dps loss over all for some insane leech potential Also is the sword mainhand just for skill 2's dodge?
the build is made for fun so change it how you want, but even with dueling youd struggle to get enough fury uptime since it only gives it on a minor trait for the zakiros relic, take dagger if you wish I dont find that weapon fun
This build is very intelligent and really fun. I'm working on. Getting the relic at the moment. Do you think this build or any variations would work in WvW well? I have always loved Mesmer and prefer phantasms, daze/stun gameplay over the constantly creating clones shatter burst. So far this build is the closest to what I wanted from Phantasms.
@@raizen2574 spear 4 when empowered does a double phantasm which gets doubled again like the gs 4, so you have a quadra phantasm on both sets, if that aint cool then i guess not
yes but what does alac give you, alacrity isnt inherently that good by itself, and if you want it to give you more phantasm cooldowns then the other trait is double the effectiveness which is more burst and more overall damage
i dont think you need soto for this at all, its core weapons on chronomancer, the relic can be made up for by going dueling instead of domination (top bot top) and you get your fury there
I think there's a misunderstanding here. Meta events are much less demanding because there are plenty of other people who will carry you if your build isnt great, so if I show you it performs well in something more difficult than that, then it will absolutely perform well in that.
@@Vallun What I meant is in tagging situation. Yeah should have word it better sorry. I use Meta as an example because it have a lot of mob. In a situation where you have to deal with those extra mob I wanna see how each open world build perform. How effective are their tagging, how they deal AOE something like that. Cuz Mesmer have bad tagging aside from Mirage tag build. Focus can pull but only few target with some CD and in scenario where multiple target come at you all at once and with some mob have range atk so they spread around, it's not perform that well in that scenario, so wanna see how you do it.
you would just spam greatsword 1 in that situation, so no its not as good as the mirage build for tagging, so if thats what you want this isnt the build for you@@JRZTT
@@Vallun nah, that's ok, I expect as much. No insult intent here. I just don't like Mirage and Virtuoso playstyle, preferred Chrono myself. Wish they are more method for better tagging. I'm glad that Chrono can use Dagger now so that's something. BTW do you plan to make any Dagger Chrono build for open world in the future?
i love how fun this build is, but no matter what i do i don't get the timing right. Even with the same ascended gear and stats to the letter, it only registers 9K DPS on ARC DPS meter. am i doing something wrong? snowcrows video shows 41K like how is that even possible (play piano i guess)
there's a lot wrong with what you said. First of al, why do you think that this is the same build as the snow crows one? two, are you sure you are looking to do top dps with an open world build?
@@Vallun I was looking here and there on tips to make it work. I am aware Its not the same build with snowcrows, but what im checking is how the meter register that high (probably opening, sequence, skill priority etc.) then checking guildjen on your write up also on your thoughts. I see your ARCDPS is hitting around 17K, i will be happy if i hit around even 12k the most. But hey thank you for you helpful comment and great video. 👍
I think you shouldnt focus on the number and more on learning the class, because there's clearly some things you're missing before you can start min maxing your dps. You should be asking "why does this skill go first in the priority" and not "why do i do 10k less damage"@@joierdan
My man really was crazy enough to put Chronomancer, fun and Open World into the same title unironically. All jokes aside I don't like power Chrono because of how obnoxiously busted the greatsword is when it comes to clone generation, I'm glad that the new changes to the traits made condi a bit more viable with scepter and staff.
This video is awesome, but it has the big problem, every build guide assume that u have "food" and everything else, like stats from +9 agony resistance.

I like *all* your videos no matter how much you mumble 😊
@Vallun what is your opinion on the Tagging Mirage Build on metabattle's website?
When I came back to the game I used that all-in-one build you had a few years ago and it was great; Mesmer was my main back in core, and you helped me so much to understand the new e-specs. Thank you so much for these guides Vallun! Going to try this build too!
no problem
I absolute adore this video. Thank you so much for posting this video Vallu, I'm gonna try it out immediately, it looks very fun indeed
21:13 'and there you go.' doing a fractal lv96 solo run with an _OpenPvE_ build
Love the remark:” that’s pretty much it, nothing much to it” and then looking at the difficult rating on guildjen 😂 you make it look SO easy. I’m taking my Mesmer out for a spin after seeing this 🎉
in theory its really easy, just spam phantasms, in practice it can get a bit more complex xD
I've only just started GW2. 7-8 hours in and just bought the bundle with all the xpacs. I've just been cruising around getting an idea of what every ...professions... play in ways that I think I'd enjoy. This looks fun xD
Bad thing i did was not buying living worlds bundle,hope you did buddy!!!
What a nice build!! tried it and love it. Thanks Vallun
You create some great builds and videos!
i've been looking for a chrono build like this
more like this for all clases please I would like to use them on my alts and they really do look fun! I feel like it'd give me a reason to play my least played classes.
The man himself with another build? I love what you do.
exactly 2 hours ago I watched a video of Coffeinated Dad with you playing WvW and thought about watch if I find a Video of Mesmer / Thief of you. And now look! You posted one now 😂
Thx for all your work Vallun! ❤
Btw - good gameplay!
Definitely gonna give this a try
As a Mesmer main I love this one 🥰🥰🥰
Great guide, wasn't thinking about relic of midnight king. The synergy is nice.
I feel like dagger is much better. It's ranged and offers more DPS.
maybe but is it cooler?
Cooler > DPS 😂
@@Vallunabsolutely not.
still using S/S, myself!
Inventory opening jump scares are quite interesting 😅😅
I missed this ty!
The midnight king relic is such a good idea with that traitline to increase fury uptime.
Yep Pulling out...... Larry Whodimi my main dps Mesmer bye mirage hello phantasm chrono, was theory crafting a build like this but didnt know it was already out their GG.
Thank you, Vallun 😊

Thank you so much! Ive been thinking about mesmer lately and this is so handy!!! Im really into WvW right now, you think this one will work or support chrono is the way to go?
think mirage gs is better for dps, support for chrono
My old power-shatter chronomancer build was getting a bit old, so this is the perfect thing to spice it up!! I do wonder if the new spears have any use for chronomancer, as well? 🤔
check the updated build page which absolutely uses a spear
Is there any alternative Relic? I havent unlocked the Midknight one yet?
thief relic and just go dueling instead of domination to get your fury
Tyvm
@@Vallun
is a mix of headger and leggings armor(assassin's) fine? while the rest are berserkers including trinkets
Omg with the new chrono pve heal build and this, I’m gonna have a lot fun with this spec. Do you also recommend going Inspiration trait line when soloing open world champs and legendaries?
It is doable imo (replacing the domination) but that build relies on both illusion and domination traitline to deal damage. So you can use it, but you can feel the damage difference.
illusions is the only mandatory traitline, so yes go inspiration as i did to solo stuff
@Vallun hey vallun can you post more clips of this build, maybe some champ or legendary bounties?
What do you think about using the duelist traitline over domination and switching the relic to the new Zakiros?
Seems like a minor dps loss over all for some insane leech potential
Also is the sword mainhand just for skill 2's dodge?
the build is made for fun so change it how you want, but even with dueling youd struggle to get enough fury uptime since it only gives it on a minor trait for the zakiros relic, take dagger if you wish I dont find that weapon fun
@1:22 how can you run dagger mainhand if youre chrono? dont you need virtuoso to equip the dagger?
the new expansion lets you do this
You had me at sw/sw/gs 😎🥰
This build is very intelligent and really fun. I'm working on. Getting the relic at the moment. Do you think this build or any variations would work in WvW well? I have always loved Mesmer and prefer phantasms, daze/stun gameplay over the constantly creating clones shatter burst.
So far this build is the closest to what I wanted from Phantasms.
wouldnt work in wvw since the phantasm trait is hugely nerfed there
@@Vallun thank you for replying! That sucks it's nerfed to that degree.
@@raizen2574 no problem, also i think spear works well as the melee weapon to supplement greatsword
@@Vallun but is it cooler? Lol
@@raizen2574 spear 4 when empowered does a double phantasm which gets doubled again like the gs 4, so you have a quadra phantasm on both sets, if that aint cool then i guess not
i like taking hte alac chorno trait and the quickness on illusoins, so you solo quick and alac yourself
yes but what does alac give you, alacrity isnt inherently that good by itself, and if you want it to give you more phantasm cooldowns then the other trait is double the effectiveness which is more burst and more overall damage
I funnily enough use a Cele version of this with Scepter shield and dagger pistol.
Hi! Any possible replacement relics (and other changes) for those without SOTO?
i dont think you need soto for this at all, its core weapons on chronomancer, the relic can be made up for by going dueling instead of domination (top bot top) and you get your fury there
@@Vallun thank you! Excited to try this out
1:17 '...an then we're using a sword/sword with _Force and Energy_ sigil.' >while showing an _Air_ sigil< 🙂
i may have mispoke there, air is correct
@@Vallun ah, good to know and makes more sense. endurance didin't look like an issue while giving the sky pirates a beating
What relic would I use when I'm not at the point where I can get the Relic of the Midnight King?
you would use any relic like thief then go dueling instead of domination
I dont have midnight king so i use relic of thief.. that does mean i need to change the Illusions trait for dueling?(for fury)
i would replace domination before illusions since thats the core of the build
does it provide shared quickness even if its not perma?
@@Kobzilla_Gaming you can read the traits, its only yourself quickness unless you take one of the gm traits that does give quickness
what is your opinion on the Tag Mirage build?
Tagging Builds on metabattle
The what?
@@JenPlaysGG Jennifer, when will you do some Chronomancer pvp video? ;)
@@JenPlaysGG stop trollin
@@Gleandra do I get paid for it?
@@JenPlaysGG Gaming is your passion, and you get compensated by our praise and likes. :D
A bit of criticism of mine, Vallun if it's not too much trouble. When you make open world build, can you show case how they do in Meta Event as well?
I think there's a misunderstanding here. Meta events are much less demanding because there are plenty of other people who will carry you if your build isnt great, so if I show you it performs well in something more difficult than that, then it will absolutely perform well in that.

What can you use if you dont have access for relic of the midnight king?
thief
@@Vallun thank you so much!! Really enjoy this build!!
how do you get this relic? the wiki hardly gives any info on it.
from the soto new expansion map achievements, or from wvw notary vendor
Question how do you make your cursor like that?
cursor contrast general options
i love how fun this build is, but no matter what i do i don't get the timing right. Even with the same ascended gear and stats to the letter, it only registers 9K DPS on ARC DPS meter. am i doing something wrong? snowcrows video shows 41K like how is that even possible (play piano i guess)

Huh? Sceptre is better than gs at generating clone.
My boy Vallun gonna get all the girls with these builds
He certainly got me, so far. :)
@@Gleandra And cute ones too. All the boys wanna be him, all he girls want him
Need Any Expansion ? What u think about Cond Druid Dps btw you build?
How u have 24k hp.... im full zerk and have almost 17k...
Dagger Dagger ele build pleasee
Like for vallun
This video is awesome, but it has the big problem, every build guide assume that u have "food" and everything else, like stats from +9 agony resistance.
i dont assume you have them, i dont use them myself because it often doesnt matter, im assuming you dont have food and infusions actually
@@Vallun then that's awesome! Ever since alac was taken from mesmer and given to mostly ever profession, this build seems really awesome. XD
How do you have so much hp? ;_;
porobably a jade bot lvl 10
Used to ran this build but the dmg is really low.
what build does more damage?
Did you enjoyed getting cooked by TG yesterday?
Im just gonna play this in wvw instead. Its basicly like pve ive heard
it is, but you may have chosen to be the mob that gets farmed
