Hey guys. I need some help regarding the mage's (little blue thingy...lol) Time Shift skill. In the description it says
"Damages and snares your enemies"
And i was kinda wondering what the "snare" means. Would really appreciate some help :) thanks!

Snare means to entangle. to wrap or twist together. When you use time shift it pretty much is a few second hold on the monster from moving. TBH dont go for timeshift not worth it in the long run. I'd suggest, Fire ball skill, gforce (tornado), Heal, Lightning (for bossing - great if you have critical upgrade)
Heh thanks :) But one problem is that when i cast the time shift skill, the enemies don't root? They walk slightly slower but they aren't rooted.
you'll need to
unlock the root skill
charge the skill for it to take effect
Snare: slows enemies' movement
Root: stops enemies in place
I believe that is how this particular skill uses those terms. :)
I would take time over Gale anyday. The dps with time is awesome.
I like Time too, because even if its cd is longer, it hits harder and damages over time as well + root. It is a very powerful skill, albeit a little hard to control in terms of where it hits. :PQuote:

I found a charged time comboed with fire then charged lightning will nuke hard. Extremely powerful on bosses too.Quote:

I noticed my Time magic is doing 0-1 dmg to bosses. I have all the upgrades.
Go with 5-fire 5-heal 5-lightning. Fire blast skill is absolutely great. It has no maximum number of targets, is powerful, knocks down every enemy it hits, and does a considerable amount of damage.
Time shift is a great skill imo, it helps you run away if you have no hp left :D
also, it does area damage. isnt that what mage is all about? >.<
I noticed that sometimes my clocks don't drop after I cast them, but i don't know if that's my hit chance/miss?Quote:

Root only slows down mobs. Snare will fully stop them. Hope this helps.Quote:

I try to lead with Time whenever possible. Often its easier to get a larger cluster of enemies in the beginning when they're funneling toward you and before they start getting scattered from player knockdown abilities.
When you're in a group, if you can time your approach on the enemy JUST after a group member makes initial contact with any type of attack, the group member will have aggro, and you can literally waltz yourself straight into the middle of a group of mobs for perfect positioning to drop Time without provoking them. Of course after the Time drops aggro will likely shift so just make sure the group is already in your rear view.
Hi, does anyone have the Root unlocked? I'd like to ask if enemies stepping INTO the area AFTER it's already cast will be rooted at the edge and take the DoT damage.
(as far as I know, they are snared if they come in from outside for as long as the shell lasts. Hoping it applies to rooting as well.)
I can confirm that enemies that walk into the area are rooted and take the DoT.Quote:

Yes they can. Get a stun spell or two. (gale/ice/fire)
I can confirm that rooted enemies can use ranged attacks on you.Quote:

I was thinking of doing a respec for a better elite build, not so much for the dmg over time, but for the root capability... This is good to know, thx.Quote:
