I played arcane last in legion, i remember there was an ability called displacer or displacement or something and you could use it after blink to go back to your original position before blink. Is it unlockable as a talent or was it a legendary ability or artifact ability? Cant see it
They removed it in Shadowlands prepatch. Now its functionality is partially tied to Master of Time talent - it both reduces your Alter Time CD and resets CD of Blink when you return to AT activation location.
Now whether compensation is good enough is another question, especially since Displacement was a base ability and MoT is a talent on the same row as Shimmer…
Thanks, super disappointing, i use to love dropping of edges and using displacer to go back up juking people. What a shame
You can still do that with Alter Time. Pop alter before jumping off the ledge, wait till they jump down and pop it again to return to the ledge.
Can also be used to yoink flags in BGs - use Alter on higher part, jump down, take the flag and pop Alter back.
I am not high rated but at like 1800 or 1900 nearly every single comp i fight if the healer is any good will just be purge spamming me the whole game to make sure they can just purge off any shield or alter time. Also lots of melee have dispells these days which kind of make alter time super inconsistent against anybody that can press a dispel button or purge
I’d say it’s harder to pull off now. Alter time is a lot more obvious than displacement
When the mage gets a giant clock above their head and jumps off a ledge, you know exactly what they’re doing. Just wait 10 seconds and they’ll pop back up and you can hit them
Displacement just left a small purple sparkle wherever they last blinked to, but they could displace any time they wanted so you never knew
Well, I dont argue that the replacement is not very good, so would not mind them giving Displacement back in some form.
Displacement is responsible for way too many broken ankles. I doubt it’ll make a comeback.
