All I know is that one of the powers better be called Time Warp. ANd the animation... well, it would obviously be a jump to the left, and then a step to the right... you'd put your hands on your hips and pull your knees in tight...

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

PBAOE Heal, agreed.
Actually end recovery would make as much as healing, you could say it was progressing their endurance to a future or previous level. Or that their recovery increases as well when they are sped up.

PBAOE buff...I'm thinkign something along the lines of Force Field's Dispersion Bubble (possibly with 5ft less radius) or the stealth powers of Cold Dom, Dark Miasma, or Storm. The set should have +Defense as part of it, and it should be something that works for the user.

+Defense is just one of the few ways to actually make one feel like one is dodging things that are being effected by temporal manipulation.

In fact, I hope it gives better than Cold Dom, Dark Miasma, and Storm stealth shield defense, but only gives positional defense.
Won't happen, most buff sets only buffed type defense at the start and the devs changed them so that they buffed everyone fairly, and I don't see them changing that now.

Does seem to step on the kin's powerset which is speed boosts and damage boosts. Will be interesting to see.
end recovery would be a godsend for several pets

Actually, I was hoping this would be part of the Omega slot, but still want somewhere.
