Useful Combos:
Fireball > Joint > Hangman (immediately knock away the fireball) > Fireball/Flame Ground > Hangman > Repeat
Stop > Flame Ground > 2 Fireballs for set-up > Sleep when Stop duration @ 1 sec > Joint > Hangman
Recommended Attributes:
Both Fireball Attributes
Flame Ground: Enhance
All Joint Penalty's Attributes if focused on Team PvP
Hangman's Knot: Splash Damage
All Chronomancer's Attributes
Pros:
+Easy to snowball. All you need to do is hangman and the game is yours.
+Haste. You're basically untouchable to Clerics.
+Ranged character means you get to chip off the HP of melee characters. Looking at you, cleric.
+Haste. Its attribute increases evasion so watch out, non-dex swordies and clerics!
+Viable in PvE too. You won't have any problems leveling your character. You can easily solo(not as easily as barbs though). With Linker C2, you are also wanted in parties for dungeons. Win-win
+Good support. With Quicken, Haste and Reflect Shield, you're wanted in PVP.
+Haste. It's the best skill ever. Period. No questions ask.
Cons:
-Your only damaging skills are Fireball and Flame Ground.
-You need money to buy Arde Dagger to increase your damage output. It's not a big issue considering how easy it is to get money late game.
-Your bossing is average due to most of your skills relying on party and links being dependent on more monsters to increase the damage output.
-You would be spamming your basic attacks if your damaging skills are on cooldown.
-If your opponent is a Oracle/Plague Doctor, have fun. They can resist Joint, Stop and Sleep, your CCs.
-Vulnerable to Archers especially Sappers. Sappers can destroy your flame ground(and possibly stop and fireball. needs testing).
-Squishy, given that you're a wizard.
Notes/Tips:
Debuffs such as poison, bleeding, and burning still can occur on Stopped opponents. Good to have a Wugushi or a Monk to use their DoT skill before you stop your opponents.
Flame Ground and Frost Cloud also works on Stopped opponents as they cause debuff to cause damage, not direct damage.
Haste is very helpful due to its movement speed increase. If your ping is not that high, kiting would be very viable as Jump Attack does not stop your movements. With haste boost, you would cover more ground while attacking the enemy.
Always get your Reflect Shield up. It nullifies knockdown which makes it easier to counter Monks and Swordies who rely on them.
Earthquake is only helpful to buy time if most of your skills are in cooldown due to its knockback.
Keep your Enchant Fire up, especially if you have Arde/Karacha Dagger. It basically gives another line for your basic attack so it improves your overall DPS.
Sleep can also be used to buy time and lock your enemies down. Recommended to use when Stop or Hangman's duration is at 1s.
JUMP ALOT. It's good for mind games, screws up the hitbox of some skills and makes ground moves such as Flame Ground and Frost Cloud useless. You can dance on those skills if you want to ;)
Remember that Fireball can be knocked. Use that as an advantage to corner your enemies if they were to run away.
Hangman is at lvl 10 as the bind duration is 10s. The CD is also 10s. Have fun spamming.
Spiritual Chain's use is only during the start of the match where everyone is buffing each other.
Physical Link is left at 4 because higher levels only increases the number of links and the duration. It is not recommended to use as this skill forces your team mates to be close together, being open to AoE attacks.
Back Masking is broken as of now. No use whatsoever.
It's good to have high con as Wizards have low HP modifier (1.2x iirc).
C3 Chronomancer's Pass reduces CD by 25s at level 5. Good to use it after setting up your fireballs and plotting your flame ground. AFAIK, debuffs cannot be overwritten so a good combo with Pass could be: Stop > 2 FB + Flame Ground > Pass > 2 FB + Flame Ground > Sleep > Joint + Hangman
