Something along the lines of the damage still comes in but comes in the form of a DOT rather than one hit. Obviously there's the ability Haste to increase raid wide damage. A Blink ability with the theme the Time Mage stopped time to move to the new spot.

I was throwing out an idea but the nuances of it I would have to leave to people smarter than myself.
Reversing damage via time is how AST heals technically. This is also why AST has Lightspeed to all but eliminate cast times, why it had Time Dilation to extend buffs, and why Celestial Opposition used to extend buffs and stun to "stop" enemies for a moment. Not to mention old Arrow which sped a target up.
