2 Poms as mage

[Yelawolfz]

Attachment 12456Attachment 12457If you use POM and then use alter time, you can use the pom and then when alter time takes effect, you will be left with the pom buff. Let the buff stand for a minute or two, the CD will reset and you will keep the pom buff. This will end up with you having the POM buff with all of your CDs intact along with POM off the Cooldown. I dont think people understand what I am trying to say here. I think everybody knows that you get 2 poms with alter time. However, after you use alter time with the pom buff up, the CD for pom will start counting down which will end up with you having the POM buff and POM ready again. This worked for me when I entered BGs and in bgs. Not sure if it will work in arena.

I dont think you guys understand what I am trying to say. Everybody knows at this point that with alter time you can use pom twice. This is pretty much universal. Use this combo while waiting for your BG que to pop. However, after alter time, you will still keep the POM buff with the POM off Cooldown. At this point, you will have the POM buff, POM off CD, Alter Time off CD. If you do this, this can actually result in 3 POMS.

With the POM buff you have up. use a spell.(1)
Then Use POM immediately. (2) Use alter time, use a spell.
Let alter time fall off and you will have another POM.(3)
Use that pom.

Use your original alter time and POM combo before you go into a bg and let the POM sit after alter time ends.

My main point is that you will have the POM buff with the POM CD off the cool down. Which is 2 POMs. With alter time, that is one more. so 3. Look at the screen shots that I have taken. you will notice that I have the POM BUFF UP with all my cooldowns intact.

Since people are having a hard time I will explain this again more simply.
BY THE WAY. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DONE IN A COMBAT SITUATION. I DO THIS WHILE WAITING FOR MY BG QUE TO POP.

1. Use the PoM & alter time combo.
2. After alter time fades, you will have the PoM buff.
3. PoM however will be counting down from its cooldown. When you dont use alter time, the cooldown will be stuck at 90 secs. However, after using it, it will start counting down whilst having the buff.
4. Wait 90 seconds.
5. Tadaa. You will have the Pom buff with all your CDs like alter time and POM. Yes you will have the PoM buff with the POM off the cooldown. That is the exploit that I am talking about.
Everyone knows about the alter time pom combo. What people didnt notice was that alter time starts the counter on PoM for some reason.
6. Que for a bg, wait for it to pop and enter.
7. You will have Pom buff and all of your cooldowns including POM and alter time.
8. If you want, you can use POM 3 times without waiting for its CD using this method.
1. Use a spell using your initial PoM. (1)
2. Use PoM again. (2)
3. Use Alter Time.
4. Use another spell.
5. Let alter time fall off.
6. You will have another PoM. (3)
7. Use another spell.

That is all. Look at the screen shots. Maybe I should have named the post title to 3 POMS.

Why do i keep reading porn instead of pom

[Doomedis]

working as intended, not exploit

[kjarlot]

Like Doomedis said, this is part of the intended mechanics of Alter Time, and not a biproduct. 99.9% sure it'll work in arenas as well. Handy, but not an exploit.

[Yelawolfz]

No where does it say in the description of alter time that it will start the cooldown of POM while maintaining the buff. " Alter the fabric of time, causing the caster to return to their current location, health, mana and buffs, and debuffs, when cast a second time or after 6 sec." Pretty sure its NOT intended.

[Nonpareill]

Pretty sure this is intended. Because you get procs and stuff back too that youve already used when you alter time, so yeah i dont think this is an exploit.

the Thread owner is fishing for rep

[Yavanna]

Dude, this is intended and it is well known to be part of the opening or the burst phase.

Ps: if you want to have a double stack of PoM you can spellsteal the one form the last boss of scarlet halls, and with alter time it would be 4 PoMs :P

Look at the screenshots. Notice how all the cooldowns are there including POM and Alter time. However, if you look at the buff section, I also have POM whilst it is off cooldown.

I see what he's saying. I have no way to test it, but I get it.

Possibly make a short clip explaining it? I don't believe it's working as intended per se, but it has limited use considering the start of a bg is a minute+

[Rlz]

To clear the air.

It's working as intended. If you're stupid enough to waste your alter time solely for this then reroll another class.

Both for PvE and PvP, as for in PvP it should mainly be used as defensive / ffb offensive proc and for PvE with heroism / trinket procs.

L2P and fish for rep somewhere else.

Bye

Cast PoM (which gives you a BUFF. Note the emphasis)
Cast Alter Time.
Cast Flamestrike (yohoo instant)
Re-cast Alter Time (which restores all your BUFFS along with other things)
Get you PoM BUFF back. Whoooo, working as f*cking intended !

[God_Luis]

When I see you in a BG waiting for a minute or two for your CD to come back up ill speall steal your pom. YOLO

[Hellson]

You dont have to use this while in a bg. I do it in my city while waiting for the que to pop so I have the edge.
