Time Manipulation?

I saw the video preview of i21. It mentions the new powerset of Time Manipulation, but I haven't seen anything about which archtypes get it. Anyone got any info on it?

We can't say for *sure* what any of them do (well, at least those of us who weren't at comiccon can't say), but we can make some educated guesses based on the icons:

1. Time Crawl

The icon has the ST border, and the interior symbol implies a slow of some sort. The devs aren't always consistent with their power icons, but I think rings around both the torso and feet might denote both movement and recharge slow as well as a regen debuff - the only power I could find that used rings around *both* areas is lingering radiation (rings around just feet is usually movement only slow, combined movement and recharge slow seem to mostly use rings around just torso). That doesn't necessarily mean, of course, that the power *only* does slow, just that the devs consider slowing to be the 'main' effect.

2. Temporal Mending

Has the standard icon for a PBAoE heal, such as healing aura, radiant aura, or warmth. There were rumors, however, that it had an additional effect.

3. Time's Juncture

Icon has the unbroken outer ring that indicates a PBAoE, and the inner symbol suggests a tohit debuff.

4. Temporal Selection

Again, single target border, and the inner symbol is a fairly generic 'damage buff' symbol; also used for siphon power, fulcrum shift, and forge, for example. However, since we know it takes healing sets, it must also include either a heal or regen component.

5. Distortion Field

Border is the 'location AoE summon' ring; the inner icon is the 'speeding fist' icon used for hasten. Probably a placeable patch recharge debuff, possibly with other effects as well. Not sure why they didn't use a more standard slow icon, however - only thing I can think of is that it might do *only* recharge slow and not movement slow, and the normal icon might be reserved for things that include movement slows.

6. Time Stop

Standard icon for a single target hold.

7. Farsight

PBAoE border, generic defense and/or resistance buff inner symbol (usually used by powers that provide defense or resistance to all positions/types).

8. Slowed Response

Targeted AoE border, generic defense and/or resistance debuff inner symbol (used by such powers as freezing rain and melt armor).

9. Chrono Shift

PBAoE border, hasten 'speeding fist' inner symbol. PBAoE recharge buff, presumably with other effects since it's the tier 9.

Note that the set's shtick was supposed to be that if a target is under the influence of one of the two single target powers (presumably time crawl and temporal selection), other buffs/debuffs from the set cast on them would gain additional effects.

I shall of course reserve judgement until actual effects and numbers are know.


I STILL think it should have been Time CONTROL though.

No, we need to reserve that name for the forthcoming matching Control powerset.

(Then... we'll need a Temporal Assault...)


The game ends at 50. Smilegasm
Do not ever give Mind Control a pet. We need more control sets without pets.

I'm more O.O about the new IO's on one of those powers...we're getting AT specific IO's now? "Well of the Controller" OMGARSH.

It is the pic in that post.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

I don't see anything resembling an IO, just the AT's powers.

Look at the picture in the link I quoted earlier...then look at the IO name and bonuses listed under the power that is selected.

Edit: More here....Malice of the Corruptor? Yes please. Not sure how I feel about them being tied to my account though...makes all my stacked reserves pointless, unless there is an alternative way to get them via INF besides WW's.

Double Edit: No need to go to the tailor anymore? Yay devs, this issue cannot come soon enough.

Triple Edit: My last one promise....the interface looks really well done for the new point system too.

I know none of that was related to Time Manip, but still...too awesome not to post.

Much appreciated, although your comment ABOUT the AT-specific IOs was the first of this thread....
