Chronomancer is an Ascendancy class for the Sorceress.

Overview

The Chronomancer specializes in manipulating time, gaining access to a wide range of utility skills. She can learn Temporal Rift to rewind her position and life, mana and energy shield values to what it was a few seconds ago, Inevitable Agony to curse enemies to take a portion of all the damage taken again after a brief delay, Time Snap to refresh all cooldowns on command, and Time Freeze to stop all enemies in their tracks. Quicksand Hourglass grants her a fluctuating amount of cast speed and area of effect, while Now and Again gives her a chance to refresh cooldowns instantly. The Chronomancer also has a few defensive abilities at her disposal; Apex of the Moment lets her slow nearby enemies, and The Rapid River hastens the speed of Recoup effects.

Version history

Version	Changes
0.4.0	Inevitable Agony granted by Inevitability has been updated: Now ignores the Curse Limit. Now causes Cursed Targets to take 50% of Hit Damage dealt to them while Cursed again when Curse expires (previously 20% at Gem level 1, scaling to 33% by Gem level 20).
0.3.0	The Flood of Echoes Notable Passive Skill has been renamed to Inevitability. It no longer grants the Unleash Skill. It instead now grants the new skill Inevitable Agony, which Curses all targets in an area after a short delay, causing a portion of Damage they take from Hits to be stored in the Curse debuff. When the debuff's duration expires, they take that stored damage again, all at once. The Quicksand Hourglass Notable Passive Skill no longer grants Every 10 seconds gain 50% more Cast Speed for 5 seconds. Instead, it now grants Sands of Time, which grants 60% Cast Speed, scaling down to 1% over 10 seconds at which point it will then scale back up to 60%. Sands of Time also grants 1% increased Area of Effect, scaling up to 60% over 10 seconds, at which point it will then scale back down to 1%.
0.2.0	The Circular Heartbeat Ascendancy Passive Skill has been removed. Rapid River no longer has a prerequisite. Added a new Flood of Echoes Ascendancy Passive Skill that grants the Unleash Skill.
0.1.0	Introduced to the game.
