This is an exploit which only highly motivated exploiters will want to contemplate because there is a large amount of set-up - however I'm publishing it anyway because of the potentially game-breaking uses for teams. 

If you log-out and log back in during Torghast for some reason certain base class abilities (NOT anima powers sadly) which normally get cancelled on leaving the instance, now persist. 

Time Warp is one such ability. 

Interestingly while anima powers should not persist outside Torghast, anima powers that affect base abilities can have their effects extend outside the dungeon.

This is true of Time Warp. For example the mage anima power Timebreaker's Paradox extends Time Warp to 3 minutes-significantly more than the 40 seconds it normally works for. If you cast Time Warp and leave Torghast it will persist for the full 3 minutes. 

Exploiting this is not trivial. The only way to do it reliably I know of is this: the anima powers that you are offered immediately on entry to Torghast  are always the same until you complete the wing. By completing Torghast (preferably on trivial difficulty) it will eventually become statistically certain you get Timebreaker's Paradox as an initial option.

Having done this (and it is a huge grind) you then have the potential to summon a group to Torghast all of whom can potentially benefit from a 3 minute time-warp. This is most beneficial to raiders (though there are other applications) as the burst damage they can gain from extended duration Time Warp is very significant. 

You could combine Timebreaker's Paradox with the anima ability Echoes Of Elisande which dramatically increases the power of Time Warp. You could potentially be casting spells almost instantly with this combination for 3 minutes. That isn't just theory-I have actually done it a few times solo. However, you would need to run the 18-level Twisting Corridors to have a reasonably high  expectation of getting the right animal cells, and the time sink could be potentially huge.

This does not work if you complete the torghast and go into adamant vaults, at least from my testing.

On the subject of lust/time warp, at the end of the deepholm quest chain when you are defending the tower, the npc shamans cast a unique lust buff that does not give sated. I believe its a 30s duration on a 5 minute cycle between casts
