You can do this with a variety of classes.
A thief can start on a buff, shadow step port away then port back to finish it.

Also haste increases the rate at which u take the buff, making timewarp teamfight on a buff super powerful. Also, timewarp+mistform etc=uninteruptable cap.

^What Daydream said.

This is not an exploit, its just unfortunate that some of us think to do these things while everyone else gets jealous they didnt think of it on their own and cries exploit to the forum. The only issue I have with it is it creates incentive to bring certain classes, even though I dont think its necessary to bring certain classes the principal is what matters.

Temple is still full of bugs that need to be fixed ASAP :

Portal + channeling
Invulnerability while channeling not canceling (not intented because we can’t start channel while invul)

I don’t understand how they can just put it in the paid rotation while there are still tons of bugs (and these bugs are here since sooo long)

A lot of classes have access to these abilities that would give them an advantage at the buff, since you clearly understand this why dont you play around it? I just dont think its an exploit, but we’ll see. If it is I’ll eat my words.

^ this is the type of guy who ruins games.

The Mesmer Portal is an “exploit” by itself in sPvP. Could you ban that skill from tournaments? at least for a week, to see real PvP?

And for those comparing blink lord rush to this and claiming it’s different , simply lol , it’s just another way to win pvp by AVOIDING pvp. GG , log more eles.

No comment. It just needs to be repeated.

Oh snap! Official post bringin the hammer DOWN! Where are all the people who were saying it was working as intended earlier?!

crickets

I’m glad they changing it, because this means certain classes wont be 100% requied, other than there general power.

+1, nice thought!

Until they fix this pathetic bull crap then GW2 might as well be renamed to MistFormTimeWarp Wars 2.

ANET wasted their money on incompetent people in terms of balancing. Prove me wrong.

I think you need to use your “mace+shield” on them.

This also seems to work for communing with skill points, although its harder to pull as they’ll interrupt you as soon as they hit you.

Usually interactions break if you get too far. But that’s limited to panels you open and skills with a range.

Adding another check at the end of the channeling to make sure you are close to the source should do it.

Also, portals need a better downside, like letting enemies use them too.

Gallrvaghn.4921:

What if when an enemy starts to channel the buff, and you try to channel it yourself, his channel is cancelled and yours will start. Of course he can do the same to you making him start all over again on his channeling while interrupting yours. It will be a never ending cycle unless one is killed or stops trying to channel the buff. At least with this, those invul skills and portal gimmicks can be countered and might even be considered useless while channeling the buff?

^This one i think might be a solution..
endless cycle which you must be forced to kill everybody in order to get the buff
