In the fantasy MMORPG Guild Wars 2, the current classes receive a promotion with the expansion Heart of Thorns. The new specialization of the Mesmer is introduced first. He becomes the time mage Chronomancer.
The Mesmer has always been the class in Guild Wars 2 that could not be explained to someone without any knowledge of the game in just a half-sentence. And even in the future, this will remain the case. The Mesmer becomes the Chronomancer, allowing him to use a Shield and the effect “Efficacy“. This reduces the cooldown time of skills. He can also share this effect with teammates. This means he will serve as a sort of “faster skill reuse” buffer.
In addition to some new tricks, the Chronomancer can also place a time well that pulses three times and triggers different effects depending on the type of well, both defensive and offensive. The wells are expected to have a relatively long cooldown.
With the new F5 ability, the Chronomancer shatters his illusions and switches to another timeline, can exhaust himself here, and when he returns to “normal time”, he will be restored to exactly how he was before his time travel. The more illusions he shatters, the longer he remains in the other phase.
This is still all a bit theoretical at the moment; we have a video for you, and ArenaNet promises to show the Chronomancer in action soon.
