+\subsubsection{Alternation - Mirage Full Blocking}
+
+As we can see from the previous guide, we don't really need anything Chronomancer specific.
+The only extras that Chronomancer gives us are an extra clone after shattering, and the ability to use a Shield for some more blocks.
+
+Mirage can easily fill in those gaps due to its special class mechanic - \href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mirage_Cloak}{\trait{Mirage Cloak}}.
+This replaces your dodge so that you can dodge in-place.
+Therefore, you can easily make up for the loss of blocks by having two dodges that will not move you away from the Sweet Spot.
+
+As for clone generation, you can get get some extra clones with the trait \href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Self-Deception}{\trait{Self-Deception}} (Mirage, first column top).
+This will generate a clone if you use a deception skill, such as \href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jaunt}{\uskill{Jaunt}}.
+Keep in mind the UI trick to cast \uskill{Jaunt} in-place, without moving!
+
+Additionally, you can take \href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Deceptive_Evasion}{\trait{Deceptive Evasion}} (Dueling, last column down).
+This will generate a clone whenever you dodge.
+
+Since you cannot take a Shield off-hand anymore, you can use a second Sword as a replacement.
+This will give you access to another block: \skill{Sword}{4}{\href{https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Illusionary_Riposte}{Illusionary Riposte}}.
+The downside of this block is that it will move you a bit upon blocking an attack, which means you have to reposition yourself.
+You can avoid the teleport by jumping in the right moment, but it is better to not rely on that if possible.
