The 
生命幻象 slot is meant to be flexible, but keep in mind your squad will always need a couple of it :
暗影遮罩 might be asked by your Commander. Make sure to drop it on his call, and if there is none just drop it before an important push to hide the squad movement.
预知法池 in the rare cases both of the previous utility skills are not needed to provide strong extra boons to your party.
As for your elite skill, you have a few options :
重力陷阱 can be picked for additional Crowd Control if your squad requires it.
群体隐形 has a niche in havoc contexts to Stealth 10 players. It is heavily injudicious by default unless your Commander wishes to Stealth the entire squad for a longer duration than 暗影遮罩.
幻象回复 can be picked if your party already has another Primary Support but no Secondary Support in order to cover the lack of Heal and Cleanse.
自我回复 should be used if you decide to play 重力陷阱 as your elite skill.
Focus over Shield to Pull players out of their stack to kill them efficiently.
Rotation & Extras
Key Concepts
Support Chronomancer revolves around Rifle to provide strong boons, utility and Heals to its party and squad. It is mostly used as a Primary Support to provide Stability, the most important boon in WvW large scale. It also applies constantly a wide variety of boons with Shatters in order to buff the squad and make sure it is kept strong after receiving the enemy incoming Boon Removal.
时空裂缝 is your most important ability. Use it wisely and aim to use as many skills during its duration as possible!
Boons and Supporting Allies
Primary Support Boons
This build is aiming to frequently apply Stability, Quickness and Resistance. Your goal is to give these strong boons to your party on the main moves.
Stability
- The main source is
强力突破 from 
专注咒语. Try to use a Charge every time your squad pushes into potential range of Crowd Control. - 时空裂缝 gives a few stacks too but we shouldn't rely on it and keep it to reset our other Cooldowns.
- Every use of
失真 should be followed by 
幻象纹章 in order to reset its Cooldown.
Quickness
- This boon frequently applied with every Shatter skill,
F1—F5by default. If you are playing
时间扭曲, make sure to place it on the main call from the Commander during 时空裂缝.
Resistance
- The majority of this boon comes from 失真 due to
精神防御. 
奇点射击 is also a really interesting source of Resistance, thanks to its Range.
Other Boons
This build provides almost every other available boon to support your party and squad. You should try to apply these boons as much as possible so they get removed over the more important boons by the enemy squad, but also so you reapply them as fast as possible after the removal.
- Swiftness will be partly covered by
菲勃古物 when pressing 
恢复咒语 and its Charges. F1—F3Shatters once again help us by providing Might, Vigor, Protection and Fury. These skills are really important to press off Cooldown. Try to prioritise using your Clones for
回归原位 since the Protection duration scales off the amount of Clones used.
鼓舞成像 and 
跋山涉水 from your Rifle grant a fair amount of Might, Fury, and some Regeneration from Range.- You can summon Clones with weapon skills, such as 跋山涉水,
幻影狙击 and 
幻象跳跃 in order to strengthen your Shatters.
时空裂缝 is mainly used to cast 时间扭曲 twice and 失真. It is also used to reset the Cooldown of 专注咒语. It doesn't need to be a long rotation as you risk your 时空裂缝 being destroyed.
Example Rotation
This will be your global gameplan for your main boons to be applied, but bear in mind all the other skills that aren't mentioned here should be used off Cooldown to fill the downtime in your rotation!
- Precast 专注咒语 before the fight starts.
- Use the first Charge of 强力突破 when you are getting close to the enemies.
- Get ready to support your allies with your Rifle skills untill the
腐化法池 call.
Once the 腐化法池 call drops:
-
时空裂缝
- 重力陷阱 or 时间扭曲 depending on your choice.
- Use last Charge of 强力突破.
- Use all Shatters
F1—F4, using失真 F4first.
You will now be back with all your Cooldowns and you can start another rotation:
- Prepare 专注咒语 on the next squad movment.
- Use freely the next Charge of 强力突破 on the following movements.
By following this rotation you will ensure your subgroup stays safe by receiving Stability, which is your main job as a Primary Support. Do not forget to give all the other boons in between moves.
Supporting Allies
Most of your Healing will come from Rifle and 恢复咒语.
Mantras Heal with 
咒语回复. You can freely use and charge 恢复咒语 to burst Heal allies.
Reactivating 鼓舞成像 → 
成像分离 will grant a large Healing burst instead of providing boons. It will also give Chaos Aura to the healed allies. You can double tap this skill whenever your party needs instant Healing rather than boons.
奇点射击 grants Barrier and Resistance to allies. It can be reactivated to open a portal from its location, at the cost of an increased Cooldown.
跋山涉水 will Heal for a decent amount and should be used off Cooldown on the areas of your squad that need assistance.
If you are playing in a scuffed party setup and you need this trait, remember 幻象回复 will Heal for each Clone you shatter, but also Remove Condition.
Supporting allies also goes by protecting them with your high Toughness, Vitality and mitigation tools. Always stand near your Commander at the front line of your squad.
恍惚狂热 and 
回忆幻像 should be used to soak as much Damage and pressure as possible for your whole squad.
