Lightning warp any good?

[Nhika]

Just wondering

I've been only using fire walk or whatever with my quicksilver flasks o.o

[danutz0501]

yes, but with reduce duration and faster casting linked(it was used before fortify was in the game, but it's still good ex lab run, you can travel a bigger distance with it etc).
Now lot's of ppl use an atk skill link with fortify and faster atk
The 2 combos are just for movement skills.

[Awesome!]

it is the worst movement skill if you ignore the cooldown on flame dash.

20/20 Lightning warp + lesser duration still good, and it just need two sockets

flame dash better in some way, but some place were not able to reach unlike Lightning warp

[Grumpy]

personally prefer LW over flame dash because the port has more range. for moving over the map I dont use either of them

for boss room, LW and flame dash depends on which map, some map with steps, LW is much faster to jump to lower level and back, but some small room (or kitava), flame dash is faster

when does it start beating quicksilvers? like at char level 60?

[Fate]

right away when you get all the gems set up

Ive found it to only be good for harder to reach areas, but it’s not combat affective.

Well you can make LW an almost instant teleport if you put it in a 4 link with faster casting, less duration and swift affliction.

Not much people invest such on a movement skill,

[Awesome!]

thats the main issue. its not that bad on a 4 link but then you are using a 4l on a movement skill

I don't like it, because it's negatively influenced by the duration talents.
Brightbeak Leam Slam <3. Yes on a caster :)

I don´t think flamedash is sufficient as a movement skill and Lightning warp needs too many links to be usefull.

Whirling Blades, Leap Slam and Shield Charge are interchangeable, depending on your preferences.

The only alternative I enjoy playing beyond those three is Blink Arrow and it doesn´t need any links to be usefull. In fact, I think thats my favourite one. Beyond that I heard about some builds that utilize smoke mines to buff their movement speed - which helps in any case.

Smoke Mine is a nice little skill.
- not a spell, you can use it when silenced.
- works with all weapons
- its range is larger than Leap Slam
- the "detonation" is instant
- leaves two smoke clouds
- buffs with runspeed

And extra duration buffs the runspeed bonus, the smoke clouds and the trap duration.

2-link (less duration with LW 20/20) is not bad, but situational . The majority use of movement skill was intented to avoid one shot or AOE, which LW may be not good at it, but for a ranged char with complex boss room layout, it is not bad
