• Swords, Pistols and Foci with , and other slaying sigils.

• Pistol is faster but lower burst so swap accordingly depending on your group.

  • Use it on Arkk to not wipe your group since the Warden 'protects' the Balls from your SAK.

• Torch for stealth, blasting and precasting

• Greatsword for precasting at certain bosses.

• Staff for precasting at certain bosses.

• Shield for CC, blocks and precasting.

• Dueling

• Domination

• Chronomancer

• Illusions

You can go this Illusions variant over the Domination traitline when you're facing Quickness uptime issues to be more self-sufficient in bad groups, if you're also lacking Might and Fury consider going Persistence of Memory as well.

• Mirage

Swap out Mantra of Pain before any other skill.

To play Power Chronomancer in fractals you need to adapt on the go as phantasms are our main damage source but they are slower than skills from other classes

If you lose yourself in the rotation follow this priority list.

1. Cast your phantasms whenever ready.

   • Phantasmal Swordsman
   • Phantasmal Disenchanter
   • Phantasmal Warden

2. Use Signet of the Ether to recharge them all.

3. Use Split Second with three clones as much as possible only delay it for Exposed

4. Use Rewinder whenever you don't have any clones, situationally you can shatter it with three clones such as in your burst rotation or when a phase is about to end and Split Second is on cooldown.

5. Use Blurred Frenzy and Well of Calamity (if used) off recharge.

• Illusionary Riposte is a DPS increase if you time it well, and don't interrupt other casts.

Remember that your personal damage skills are faster than phantasms, but that they deal more damage over time, this means that Blurred Frenzy and auto-attacks get higher priority if the boss is close to phasing.

Utilize Time Sink for CC, but also remember to not use too much CC on the breakbar and space out your big CC cooldowns like Signet of Humility or Gravity Well so they don't overlap with other powerful CC skills.

Apart from doing DPS, you'll also have access to a wide range of utilities which can all be used twice with Continuum Split if needed. Cast Illusionary Leap to quickly get up another illusion.

Golem rotations out of the raid builds are generally suboptimal in fractals due to Exposed and phases being much shorter compared to raids. The raid rotations are optimized for sustained DPS while in fractals a player needs the ability to adapt a rotation to the amount of time a group needs to finish a phase.\ For that reason you can find a video with openers, that are efficient to use here.

It's important to note that phantasms do not benefit from most modifiers, unless it is stated to be the case.

They do however benefit from Exposed.

At the Mistlock Singularity

• Blast fire fields with The Prestige.

• Extend boons with Signet of Inspiration if you have time.

• Precast Mimic and take the singularity when your group is done pre-buffing.

• Additionally you can precast a Time Warp on the boss and take the singularity as well on bosses like Skorvald, or any boss if you use portals.

At the boss (spawnable bosses)

• You can precast The Prestige, Tides of Time and Chaos Storm to squeeze out a little more burst, if your group coordinates.

At the boss (prespawned bosses)

• Precast rotation. Start on Staff or Shield.

1. Phantasmal Warlock
2. Phase Retreat

   1. Omit this step if Mimic is precast

3. Swap to Greatsword from inventory

4. Phantasmal Berserker
5. Mirror Blade

6. Swap to Focus and proceed with the regular rotation

• If you start on Shield use Echo of Memory before step 1.

• Precasting phantasms on MAMA is possible but the timing is trickier in PuGs as combat starts once your group hits the boss.

If you want to be more self-sufficient in fractals you can get a 100% boon duration set and take Bountiful Disillusionment.

Then enter Continuum Split, cast all shatters, exit Continuum Split, cast all shatters again and use Signet of Inspiration. Precast Mimic and take the singularity.

Alternatively you can also precast Well of Recall to help with Alacrity uptime.

These are basic openers, refer to the video for more advanced openers (video description for written rotation).
