The Moa Signet is awesome against any kind of Breakbar. Especially against the worst offenders like Bloom Hunger and the Grawl Shaman (Pre Transfomation) which are basically immune to any kind of CC on top of their Breakbar.

Without Moa, they never break at all, with the Signet boom instabreak. The 10s Transformation does not count as conventional CC. I would use it more often especially in Fractals and maybe some day in Raids, but it is a shame that Time Warp is such a strong Elite and basically mandatory for everything group related.

What about you? Do you use Moa at all outside of PvP since the Invention of Breakbars?

I have thought about it and it can be really useful for fights where breakbars are the issue and damage is fine, but on the other hand it seem a little bit overkill.

It won’t be overkill if you have to instantly break a bar and every second counts. The Problem is just that Time Warp is useful 99% of the Time, while Moa is only a Niche Option at best, but a pretty good one at that.

Id say any situation now when you need time warp, you also need to break a bar, so moa does seem a lot better, at least to swap to for big boss fights.
It’s amazing how some bars barely budge even with full F3 and double gravity well, but Moa just crushes it.
And keep in mind, mobs are more vulnerable to dmg with a broken bar.
