Ah great, the complaints on time warp have already began before Arena-Net got a chance to nerf Moa Morph.

I know right? I don’t even know anyone who uses it, yet since this is the mesmer forum someone will find a reason to complain about it.

I think i have a solution for all the balancing issues people keep running jn to. And km certain that if they incorporated this simple fix we would never see another complaint on the forums. Simply remove guildwars 2 from guildwars 2 in the next patch and patch in barny’s hide and seek. Then the game will be at a difficulty level that would suit the player base.

10 seconds of mass quickness and a confusion field wins any fight ever?

Stop the kittening presses, this is new and unexpected!

Where are you all getting the problem with time warp? It’s obvious that Time Warp is fine. He’s complaining about the extremely OP skill Time Wrap. Anet should just remove that skill and compensate by making Time Warp last 20 seconds.

One solution would be in my opinion..is to make sure you have a mesmer on your side too..would others complain in your side. Once every 4 minutes after-all per mesmer…with more mesmers more often. Let alone every profession has far easier I win skills..but that seems to be beside the point…the point seems to be…..just got our backsides given to us uncomfortably…oh the largest thing I saw, was a mesmer field..time warp it’s called…needs nerfing..better complain.

There are skills that are mini battle changers, and plenty of those don’t belong to a mesmer…I speak from leveling every profession.

Sure it’s a nice skill, but very situational and on a long cool down.

Funny story. I dodge rolled out of the time warp field. They followed. End of attackspeed buff.

The awkward moment when no one can tell who’s side the wrap belongs to.

Or the feedback bubble lol.

Amazing, do the complaints never end? i have an idea! now follow me for a minute here, instead of whining on the forums how about you practice your class and learn to over come Timewarp?! I KNOW this is a hard thing to swallow but the truth is you probably just arn’t using the right build or your just not up to par with the mesmers who are rocking you over and over. I know oh hes just another mesmer poping Timewarp, why yes yes i am. and you know what mesmers are very challenging to use, but when you know how to play them we can’t be beat.

I know… is this shiny purple circle on the ground an omen of victory, or an omen of death?

What is Time wrap?

All you have to do to completely counter your opponents “Time Warp” keep your distance and run away…. the thing last for 10s and has an AOE limit and it only applies the buff while the valid users are inside of the AOE not outside of it so the users cannot chase you down under the effects of Time Warp. It is very easy to avoid it and make your opponents Time Warp a complete waste of effort if you know how to play… its not that hard to escape it so stop the useless wining and learn how to get around small obstacles. Its an Elite skill and the users have to set it up right and think their strategies good while using it on PvP sessions compare to other Elite skills. And on PvE or WvW the Time Warp only affects a limit of 5 allies only. And as I said… its completely avoidable 95% of the cases. The other 5% is based on the Mesmer players strategies and an average player.

And then the other team caps the point, mission accomplished. Time warp wins team fights when used properly, that’s why it has such a long cool down.

They need to make enemy time warps and feed backs more different from friendly ones though. That way people know what they can stand in when you have those bizarre moments with double warps down.

There are half a dozen or more elite skills in this game that are a guaranteed cap in sPvP. Heck the Guardian has one that isn’t even an elite skill! If you want to nerf Time Warp, nerf all the others too. Or, you could just play smart, let them have that point and go cap the other two.

Time Warp – 3 Colorless mana, 2 blue mana.
Sorcery
Target player takes an extra turn.

How is it OP? Costs so much mana =|

It’s just a jump to the left and then a step to the right…

You can use it on 5 turn an you get mana back on new turn

You forgot to add a side note:
“Player can only cast it one time per match”

I always think of Time Warp as Time Stop from Baldur’s Gate/DnD. In terms of function in lore they’re similar but Time Warp could be much more powerful. The devs did not include a 10s unbreakable AoE stun in GW2’s version and attached a fairly long cooldown and a freaking giant purple dome of doom to it.

(next step for the Mesmer proletariat should be to lobby for Nahal’s Reckless Dwemer, and Wish as utilities)

While time warp is extremely good….

It’s also extremely good at getting people inside it killed when you drop feedback on them

Trolling other Mesmers – priceless.

Oh oh!
Can we please get the whiner who argued in the Moa thread that Time Warp is quite easy to counter (unlike Moa, supposedly) in here, and have him and the OP duke it out?

You’ll probably have to skulk around the necro forums to find him, he’s too busy crying about necro being terrible to bother.

I use mass invis btw, so nerf inc… granted I use all 3 at some point or another.

Cant you not just remove the buff with other skills?? like a remove boon??? Im a mesmer myself and when I see Time warp I just throw down null field. I cant believe some of these posts… because of one little skill you can only use every 230 seconds… dodge and roll dodge and roll!

It’s not the Warp that’s OP, it’s managing to cast it 2 times with Pyromancer’s Ascension that’s the problem. . . I mean. . . it requires some set up, but I’m telling you, this can go infinite with a regrowth effect, which is in the same format as Ascension. (actually about 20 times over in the same format)

I take all the rest of the turns! I WIN!

More on topic though, Time Warp requires a great deal of skill to use appropriately, and it’s only 10 seconds. There are abilities in the game that make you immune to CC for 20 seconds. . . need I say anymore? Overpowered is a perspective, I don’t think that Hundred Blades is overpowered, except in PvE where it’s simply doing too much damage to the NPCs who won’t move out of it or stun/daze that warrior.

Personally, I’d prefer to see Time ‘Wrap’ replaced with an AOE Moa Morph – with an area size roughtly the same as Time Warp !

A Thyme Wrap? Doesn’t sound toooo tasty, really. :S

AOE Moa Morph = everyone (foes and allies) turn into moas :-D
→ of course except the mesmer who casted this OP imba skill; after that he will get 5 new mighty AOE skills to destroy the moa army (doesn’t matter which one (foes or allies) you hit), they will all give you heaps of extremely rare imba loot

Time Warp is a AoE that effects like 5 people. In it. In sPvP you can just move back a bit or push the Mesmer out and he wasted a 210 sek cd. In WvW 5 randome people get it when you use it on a zerg. Meaning uslessness in its purest form with all the Krama leechers running around only spamming 1. In Pve you can’t complain. Most bosses won’t let you stay in that area without hitting hard on you.

Srsly the Mesemer is counterd by Brain. I say he will get hit by the nerf hammer like a truck and then get some reworks with stuff you need certain skills to counter then you QQ’s are kittened now you are just don’t think.

@Navi:

WvW turns into Moa Vs Moa lead by mercyless Mesmers truning everyone that enters into a Moa and sending them into certain death.

Sounds fair enough, Laron.

Did I forget to mention that it has no CD? It doesn’t need one, because after you casted it, everyone is dead, you are alone and GAME OVER.
No, I think we should let all mesmers stay alive.. just the allied mesmers.. yeah!

If 10 seconds of quick/confuse is the end of your team, then you’ve got bigger problems.

I use Time Warp mainly during sieges but otherwise it’s a ridiculous cooldown and if you can move out of range and get the people huddled under the bubble to chase you – effect is over and the mesmer is left with a crazy cooldown on his/her elite.

sigh

Next?
