Acquisition

Signet of Capture

Note that as a PvE-only skill, Elite Skill Tomes cannot be used to learn this skill.

Related skills

• Ebon Battle Standard of Wisdom
• Over the Limit (elite)

Notes

• This is a core skill, but Guild Wars Eye of the North is required to obtain the skill.
• At rank 17 Fast Casting, Time Ward can be maintained constantly without the need for external recharge time modifiers.
  • At rank 14 Fast Casting, Time Ward is self sustaining provided the initial casting is affected by a reduced recharge time modifier of 15% or more.

• The AI cannot detect a ward's presence. Although remaining inside the ward would be favourable, even flagged NPC allies will leave the ward's area of effect whilst taking damage or targeting an enemy beyond their spell and attack range.

Trivia

• Originally, this reduced recharge times to 15...19...20% of their initial values but this was corrected in a hot fix.
• This skill uses the same icon as the Guild Wars 2 Chronomancer skill Rewinder. Its functionality is also similar to the Chronomancer well skills.
• Added to the game with the 22nd April 2020 update as part of the 15th Anniversary Celebration.
