Chronomancer Acnedancy Abilities for Werewolf

So i tried making a "whenwolf"(chronomancer werewolf) work. i had the idea to use inevitable agony + time freeze and the wolfs massive burst potential do create an interesting build around a lot of cc (freeze and time stop) + you know how inevitable agony works.

NOW: Temporal rift is castable while in wolf form. the rest is not... that makes it hard to make my build work sadly since i requiere to be able to cast agony and time freeze in wolf form. i would need Lunar Blessing on weapon set 2 with time freeze because of skill duration points and have my curse on weapon set 1 so i could have it on a shorter duration.


now before anyone says well you should have read ability requirements: I did. Usually a skill has under "requirements" what weapon you need to use it. since requirement didn't specify anything i made my enitre build around it and its not working atm...

also weird to me that temporal rift works and the rest doesn't. PLease make the spells work for wolf form my whenwolf idea is really really cool and i want to play it soo bad <3

Good stuff, played off meta Chronomancer this season too.

Did not mess around with Talismans or anything this year, but from what I read and the info in game and wiki it sounds like it might be intended that you shape shift back to human form when using Chronomancer or other spells?

Can you just not cast Time Freeze or Inevitable agony at all when in wolf form, or is the issue its shifting you back to human? I wonder if the bug is that Temporal Rift worked at all when maybe it shouldn't have.

Anyway, I think there's some weird coding or logic with the Ascendency abilities that are spells in this game that causes issues. I was able to cast Time Freeze with a spear in weapon set one, but I was not able to assign it to the wand I used in weapon set 2. Regular spells I was casting I could assign to weapon set 2, but using time freeze would always put my spear from weapon set one back in hand. There was simply no option to in game assign time freeze to weapon set two like there was for regular spell skill gems.

It sucked because I wanted that extra cast speed for it, but wanted top keep the spear in set one to use Riugwalds. Could only think it had something to do with it being a class skill/spell and not a regular old skill.

Anyway, this sounds like a bug, so I'm not sure if the proper place to post this for GGG to ignore it might not be the bug forum.

hey yeah.. so right now i am handling it by using a staff on weapon set two and swapig from wolf to human form however.... if i could just keep using talisman on weapon set 2 it would be MUCH MUCH better for my build. i have a HUGE amount of skill effect duration which i also want to apply on Lunar blessing. its a buff that has increased duration for every rage spent. but generally the duration is kinda short so extending that is a very nice quality of life. also skill effect duration would also apply on time freeze and inevitable agony creating a bigger window i can burst hence dealing more dmg after it runs out.

Right now though i have to run less skill effect duration points and make it use general skill points outside weapon set points so that it also affects lunar blessing. it would be SO MUCH more efficient if i could have it all on weapon set 2 and just put all skill effect duration ON weapon set 2.

but it somehow still works...during boss fights I usually use lunar blessing > agony > time freeze do a lot of burst freeze enemy generate a power charge (with combat frenzy and resonance) use a empowered deep breath (wyvern skill) do a lot of dmg and then the agony triggers and deals 60% of all my dmg again deleting boss.

its a very very weird build but a lot of fun to play. IMO just from the class fantasy and the way its played i find chronomancer skills to be the most fun designed in the game.

i just wished they would work in wolf form too to make my build more viable. also its a big shame that quick sand hour glas is does only give cast speed and not skill speed otherwise i would 100% play that on wolf.

im currently on lvl 90 HC SSF lets see how far i get with this build.
