Phase Shift

Does anyone know how this works in-game?
I use to have it on one of my builds a long time ago and I believe at the time you had to wait 30s before you could use it again.
How long do you have to wait before using it again these days?

Puts an Intangible/OAS on you, down for two minutes.
Most of my toons have Phase so let me check quickly...yep, you get a NoPhase buff that expires after two minutes.

Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

Two minutes...really?
That seems very long.
Is there a reason they increased the no-phase time and made it a less valuable power?

I use it regularly, it has so many uses (springing ambushes, stealthing, surviving PvP)
Yes you stay shifted for only 30 seconds. Recharge time is 3 minutes but with recharge enhancements you can cut it in half.

There is a rumour that drones/turrets can now fire through the shift, i am going to test that. (i14)
There was a change the devs were talking about a shifted person can now attack another shifted character, i will have to test this theory as well. (i14)

Posting at the same time as others leads to confusion, so i posted at the same time as the ppl above me. If you check Paragonwiki or Mid's Builder you will see the shift lasts only 30 seconds, and from my experience that seems to be the case.

They lowered it party for PvE reasons (you could run around intangd and click glowies for a while, iirc and run under Hami to get the badge, etc etc) and partly for PvP reasons (Emps and other characters would Phase to avoid spiking and it would be up fairly quickly, meaning you'd need to really be on the ball to get a kill).

As Felicia said, if you have Phase you can now attack a Phased character as well.

But you would only want to get the recharge down to 120s right?
With not being able to phase again for 120s after its use then any recharge below 120s is wasted...correct?

Neuronia taught me alot about PvP without realizing it. She showed me scrappers and tanks are not the only ones who can pvp. Thx Neuronia.

I hadnt thought of running it to get badges and glowies, cool.(sometimes we all overlook the obvious)

Couple Phase Shift with BlackHole or another Shift power gives you incredible control in PvP, otherwise i probably wouldnt survive at all especially in PvP Zones (always being attacked by groups). Dark Defenders and Gravity Controllers are great at this especially if your controller gets Ice Epic (Hibernate). This type of fighter is known as a "CAGER".

Neuronia can also tell you Psi/Force works incredibly well, it took me awhile to figure out how to match up against this type after she gave me many beatings.

Decafe is the root of all evil!

Hmmmm, if your right about the 120 second recharge, using another enhacnement would be a waste, but i only use a level 50 invention enhancement anyways. I use Accuracy IO in BlackHole.
The reason is i use Phase Shift to throw my opponents timing off, i do not to try to stay shifted. Or to escape for a few seconds of course.

There seems to be a new glitch, when i was in 2vs2 PvP i could use all my powers that did not do direct damage. Darkest Night, Tar Patch, and Dark Servant. Either it is a glitch or i just never noticed we could do that before.

HAVE FUN THAT IS AN ORDER
