Use Shield Charge for clearing instead of
Shield Wall, because there's bug that make
Shield Charge never go on cooldown with
Now and Again. More about this in Skill Gem section.

This is original version of this build that use bleeding - https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/slam-chronomancer-paintmaster
Before you consider doing it, think twice and make sure you ready for slow gameplay, mace is currently worst weapon type in the game, and chronomancer is least popular ascendancy, deadly combo!
For 3rd ascendancy Trial of Sekhemas is easy once you get relics with total 75% honour resist. For floor 3 boss better to have chaos res so you just facetank him and nuke with hammers.
For 4th ascendancy Trial of Chaos seems easier. Avoid corrupted blood stuff, any extra damage if possible, and reduced resists.
Shortly about build if you're not familiar with original:
Hammer of the Gods has long cooldown, normally can be used once.
Time Snap from Chronomancer ascendancy reset cooldowns allowing to use hammer again.
Now and Again grant 33% chance for skills to not go on cooldown, so you can cast multiple hammers before it goes on cooldown. Highest i had was 5 casts at once.
- Rest of the build is more or less regular mace build. Which mean it's relatively slow, compare to pretty much any other build types.
- While
Giant's Blood is very good to use 2Handed Mace with Shield, during campaign you don't need to rush it.
- Also Chronomancer has
Circular Heartbeat and
The Rapid River for defense. It's basically life regen you get after getting hit.
About recoup:
For example you take 1000 damage with 50% life recoup, by default you recover 500 life over 8 seconds or 4 seconds withThe Rapid River.
Each recoup instance is individual, you take 10 hits, you get 10 separate recoups. - For Venom Draught quest choose chaos resist and ailment threshold.
