Why do mages have time warp?

Mage has consistently been the most faceroll and broken class for years, Ghostcrawler has quit years ago and no longer has control to change game balance for his own performance purposes, so my guess is that the balance team just hasn’t paid attention that mage still has this

This is bait right?

Is Time Warp really an issue?

It’s a very easy spell, so of course we’d get it. You see…
It’s just a jump to the left.

no he’s right, it’s not really balanced

death knights need to get time warp as well, also it shouldn’t proc exhaustion and it should have a 1 minute cool down.

while we’re at it give death knights teleport and travel form as well

just to balance out classes y’know

Mages and Hunters were given their own versions of blood lust back during Blizzards “Bring the player, not the class.” balance philosophy.

They didn’t like the idea that raids were forced to bring a Shaman over another player.

Still have fun memories of getting to do The Time Warp at school. There was some event where there was a dj and a friend requested the song.

Oh we looked STUPID being like. 3 guys during lunch hour but man it was fun.

Still surprised we didn’t get in trouble for the pelvic thrusting. My high school was usually very stupid like that.

I mean only 3 classes have Bloodlust like effects, Hunter, Mage and Shaman. Of 12 classes only 3 have it.

Also it fits in the class theme of mage as well, especially with abilities like Alter Time (especially Arcane mage fantasy).

Time is a school of arcane magic if I recall correctly. :slightly_smiling_face:

This needs some visualization, charts, and music…

let’s forget the incredibly prevalent usage of time magic in suramar, a place of massive arcane history to the point pretty much everything they do and say is infused with arcane magic.

anyways, remove berserk from warriors. they should be calm.

And Hunter has to have a specific type of pet to have it. We have to give up other utility. So two classes with it as baseline and a third that essentially has to spec into it isn’t bad at all.

If it has to be removed from anyone the logical choice is hunter, not mage.

I believe we need to make all the Lust abilities do the same thing but with different wording to confuse people.

Time Warp: Accelerate Time by 30%
Blood Lust: Increase haste by 30%
Ancient Hysteria: Increase casting and Melee Speed by 30%

Much like the variation of drums, we want them to all do the same but make the players think for a second that one is better.
