Build Overview

All rounded support mostly for Duo gameplay. While you can change it to work in 3-6 Player party focusing on Time Freeze duration.

Shortly about this Chronomancer Support:

  • Does reach 30sec+ Time Freeze which means you not getting that penalty that halves duration of Time Freeze if enemy was time frozen in past 30 seconds.
    So with Second Wind you cast it atleast twice for 1 minute Time Freeze.
  • If you want you can use Time Snap to double it to 2 minutes.
  • Plus extra procs of Now and Again which can increase it even further.
  • Overwhelming Presence with ~50% reduced Stun/Ailment Threshold
  • Temporal Chains + Enfeeble Curse Auras.
  • Conductivity or any DPS Curse your carry need.
  • Eye of Winter to apply Critical Weakness (+10% Crit Chance) and Cold Exposure.
  • Solar Orb with ~40 Sec duration to get Font of Blood, Font of Rage and Font of Mana, and if needed Fire Exposure.
  • Blink with ~2 Sec cooldown.
  • Grim Feast for Energy Shield overflow.
  • Arctic Armour because why not.
  • Optionally Flame Wall if your carry is projectile build.
  • ~7.5-8k Energy Shield with decent gear (On weapon set 1), can reach over 10k.
  • Most of gear is relatively cheap, like Belt that only really need resists. Or Ring that need any of 2 Attributes plus 1 Resist.
  • Chaos Inoculation so immune to Chaos Damage.

I don't know if there's point to make video when this build's showcase is literally just walking and sometimes pressing some buttons lol

Time Freeze calculation for this example of setup:

  • First about Time Freeze. Base duration is 3 seconds. Then this setup has 440% Increased Skill Effect Duration and Persistence that grant 40% More Skill Effect Duration.
  • So duration of Time Freeze is: (3 x 4.4) x 1.4 = 13.2 x 1.4 = 18.4 Sec
  • Then Temporal Chains comes in with "Other effects on Cursed enemies expire 25% slower".
  • Base curse effect of Temporal Chains is 100% (obviously lol), then this setup has 89% Curse Effect + 84% Aura Effect which simply stack together to 173% Curse Effect plus base 100% Curse Effect so Temporal Chains have 273% increased Curse Effect.
    And Blasphemy that has 41% Less Curse Effect at lvl19-20.
  • In total its: 25 x (2.73 x 0.59) = 25 x 1.61 = 40%. So Temporal Chains applies 40% Slower Expire Rate to all debuffs, including Time Freeze.
  • And finally actual duration of Time Freeze: 18.4 sec / 0.6 = 30.6 Sec
