chrono heal question

[weaponwh.9810]

just curious for continuously healing what skill does chrono use? for ex, thief can leech life from foes, but other than the main healing spell i didn't see any noteble heal/protect skill that keep me alive for like champ or elite mobs.

So the topic is damage mitigation. Not every build has the same way of dealing with it as you kind of already know (leeching, toughness, blocking, heals etc). Mesmers mainly mitigate damage by distracting in the form of interrupts, evades and clones. In regards to actually healing, for a mesmer they have the Inspiration trait line that does heal with certain requirements and for the elite Chrono spec the trait Alls Well that Ends Well will heal if you use a well. I would also consume ascended food for the constant healing tic.

ok thanks so i get the clone to distract, what skill are for interrupt/evades?

For continuously healing i'll advice you to take the ether signet, it will heal you everytime a clone appears. Taking this will allow you to have a continuously healing skill, but to be honest, it's not healing that much. If you want to be tanky with mesmer, you should play around stealth, with torch 4, signet of midnight and mass invisibility. Taking the inspiration traitline is a must in this case, take the trait that transfer a condi at your clone everytime it spawns, the trait that dispels 1 condi for each shatter, and the trait that upgrades signets. This + chronofantasma, and you will have 0 pressure from conditions, however your damage output will not be very great. If you want to be even more tanky, take the chaos trait line, if you want to make more damage, take illusion (for condi), or domination (for power), or duel (kind of mixt)

i'm guessing pure power gear? i'm try to find a power build to take on some champ bounty in pof. currently dont have trouble with vet mobs. but try to play around the build/gear to solo champs.

[Woltarion.6829]

Oh if it's for pve content, you don't need to take inspiration, because the pressure isn't that important.

I can only take on champs in pof with condi tbh, but.

 

Try invisibility, teleportation and something that counters whatever the champ does (eg condi cleanse, reflect, etc). Aside from what the others have said, you have to take into account what the champion's skills are and if you have something that can get rid of them. Also the classic asking for help on map always works xD

Personally I try to let my illusions take the hits. If you can position yourself properly, generate a fair number of illusions consistently, and use the trait so they spawn with aegis, you can chip away at most enemies from a distance pretty safely. It's slow but fairly reliable.
