Dimension Door, what’s it for?

[ElvenMercenary]

So, I’m in Vordakai's Tomb with basically no camping supplies and it locks you inside.

Luckily, I always have one dimension door prepared and I have a scroll of mass dimension door.

I can’t Dimension Door past the locked door to go camp outside.

The spell works fine when you have line of sight, but normally Dimension Door doesn’t require that.

So is the spell bugged or was this an intended change? Because it’s really not that useful in combat the way movement works in this game.

Yes it's quite disappointing. It was the first level 4 spell I chose for a sorcerer because I like it in PnP version and I though I could get over obstacles. Turns out it's never useful as you can only get to places that you could get to by simply walking for 1 or 2 rounds.

Its for teleporting past the areas that have invisible walls preventing you from exploring them due to a terrain glitch.

It is way too slow to use in combat, so I've only been able to use it once to get to a terrain spot without having to go through the boot shaped Athletics skill check. So in other words, it's pretty useless.

circumventing bugs :P

Like so many other spells in this game it's function is to be a waste of a spell slot. Which thanks to no respec you are stuck with forever.

Actually this.

Also if you ever fail any Athletics/Mobility checks, you can cast that spell instead or return later and cast it.

You can get into inaccessible areas with it sometimes, if you find the right angle (like in Armag's tomb).

It’s funny, I ended up using it in the soul eater fight later in the game to teleport back up on the ledge and kill them with ranged attacks completely avoiding ability drain.

It's mainly to get out of being surrounded or for teleporting in an army of summons onto a group of unsuspecting enemies.

I actually really love this skill when used with a summoner.

Dimension door is amazing in nyrissa's house to reset mobs and get past the janky mist lockouts in combat .

Invis your meeles, dimension door them into enemy archers/casters.
