What are you playing?
Heal Chronomancer Guide
Your responsibilities (excluding basic healing and support as required by your role) consist in:
- Providing
Stability and
Aegis for most, if not all mechanics.
- Intercepting Blighted Orbs using
Distortion to delete them.
- Providing backup projectile reflection with
Feedback.
- Aggro-ing certain adds during the split phases.
- Providing large amounts of CC.
General Information for all Phases
- Save your
Mantra of Concentration for the Swipes. You can often block both swipes with a single cast if well timed. Call out if you don’t have it for mechanics.
- Save your
Well of Precognition for the Slams. This becomes increasingly important as the fight progresses. Call out if you don’t have it for a slam.
- Save your
Distortion for Blighted Orbs. Sort out with your fellow
Chronomancer who does the first set of orbs and who the second, and call out whenever you are deleting.
- When your bubble player calls for backup (usually by saying “Bubble Down”), you should pick a side of the boss (usually by calling “Double”/”Single”) and use your
Feedback to block Empowering Orbs from your direction when you see them.
- If possible, save your
Continuum Split for the CC phases.
- Make sure you are dodging or jumping the shockwave component of Greer’s Slams.
- Sidestep all arrows. Try to provide
Stability for them if you can spare it.
Phase 1
- Start on Reeg.
- You will have a first set of Blighted Orbs just before Greens. If you are responsible for this first set, it could be your responsibility to aggro the boss and pull it to the group.
- You may be responsible of blocking the first set of Empowering Orbs from Gree and Ereg. In this case, after deleting the Blighted Orbs, use
Continuum Split to double-cast
Feedback so that both directions are covered.
Example of an opener with orb deletion and double
Feedback
- When Greer lumbers over, move between him and Reeg so your DPS can cleave them together.
- Wait for Greer’s Breath Attack, baiting it outwards. If Reeg is dead, dodge through Greer and position inwards, otherwise continue cleaving him. You will usually have a second set of Blighted Orbs in this moment.
- Play the rest of the phase positioned towards the center of the arena.
First Split Phase
- Often you or your fellow
Chronomancer must aggro Gree on
and pull it towards the group on
.
- If you are not aggroing Gree, cross the arena to Reeg on
and start damaging him.
- If you get a Green while off-stack, try to dodge it or call for a buddy to help you out.
- Once Reeg is gone or close to 50%, move to Gree. Stack on the outside of Gree so that Ereg walks to you.
- Cleave the two adds together. When Ereg uses its Breath Attack, dodge through it and continue cleaving.

Phase 2
- As soon as Gree is dead, walk back to the boss.
- You may have to delete a set of Blighted Orbs while walking to the boss.
- Move to Reeg and kill him while playing Greens. Players targeted by greens should split to the left and right between the boss and the add, as shown in the image.

- Wait for Greer’s Breath Attack, baiting it outwards. If Reeg is dead, dodge through Greer and position inwards, otherwise continue cleaving him.
- Play the rest of the phase positioned towards the center of the arena.
Second Split Phase
Phase 3
- You will have to play triple Greens. If you get one of these, stack with your green buddies together off the main group, then try to dodge the greens together as shown here. If you go downstate, wait for your teammates to rez you. Use
Feedback to aid with rezzing (thanks to
Medic’s Feedback).
- Play the beginning of the phase positioned towards the center of the arena.
- During CC, your squad should move through Greer towards the outside of the arena.

Empowered in the final 10%: make sure you are sidestepping Swipes and providing
