[Lightning Warp] movement or cast speed?
Hello everyone. Today i was trying to build a Lightning Warp character so i looked into the wiki for some informations but i couldn't find what i needed so i'm asking you all a question.
How good is to stack movement speed with lightning warp? Is it better to get cast speed? Is there a speed cap for the character or for lightning warp? |

reduced duration is the best if you want it to teleport faster.
Better stay in the land of the damned, Exile. Here, even the very words are corrupted by Nightmare.

Reduced duration decreases the delay between cast and teleport. Movement speed does too, I believe, but nowhere near as much as reduced duration. Faster casting helps too, for the initial casting. A lightning warp plus reduced duration plus faster casting will become an instant teleport at higher levels. Very fun. |

Lightinig Warp + Faster Casting + Reduced Duration = Instant Warping

Lightinig Warp + Faster Casting + Reduced Duration Correct this is the set up you want.
As to awnser your question. the way lightning warp works is the cast time of the skill is based on the time taken to move the distance that will be warped. So yes move speed dose incresse the cast speed, also cast speed increses the cast speed , shocking i know. So stacking move speed dose make lightning warp work faster , HOWEVER with very high cast speed you can warp fast enonoughf to not need much or really any move speed ( the skill seems to scale better with cast speed than move speed , probley since it's much eayser to get cast speed than move speed ) . With very high cast speed the warp is fast enoughf to not really need any move speed, this can be handy since it saves you a stat slot on bots once you get 20/20 gems. Edit : I almost forgot to mention that lightning warp has a odd glitch. Sometimes rarly it bugs out and dose not warp you on client OR server side , it has something to do with desync but it's difficult to tell why this happens ( it's odd that it happens both on client and server side if it's desync ) So sometimes when trying to warp out of a dangrous situation you simply will not warp out , also the skill can be initurupted by getting stunned like all skills. once you learn to recognize this youwill figure out how to counter it with good play. I recomend spamming the key you have it binded to till you actualy warp just incase ( especialy on HC mode ) it's a great move skill but for 100 % saftey whirling blades is a better move skill for dodgeing attacks manualy. GL HF Just a sec let me grab a beer...@#*@ Ok how did I die this time Learn the rules, it's the only way to exploit them. Last edited by SirSid#5235 on Aug 24, 2014, 11:17:37 AM

If you using LW, consider the chest with +2 Movement Gems, maybe. Dual LW Totem build would be hilarious.
Spell Totem Lighting Warp Reduced Duration Faster Casting Lightning Penetration Increased AoE - If you have enough cast speed anyway, Conc. AoE might also be viable instead.

" Not quite. There are two components to Lightning Warp: the activation, and the delay. The activation time is only affected by Cast Speed modifiers. Base is 1 second. The delay is only affected by Duration modifiers and movespeed. The Base delay is equal to the time it would take for your character to walk to the target location (assuming no obstructions)(if you have higher Movespeed, it takes less time to walk, reducing the Base delay). Reduced Duration then modifies that Base delay. It's really easy to get the delay down through Reduced Duration, so Movespeed is not important anymore. Instead, the best way to Warp faster is by improving your Cast Speed. Last edited by Vipermagi#0984 on Aug 24, 2014, 12:00:55 PM

When I said LW+FC+RD = Instant Teleport I had the idea you wish to use it to "kite" mobs. It works amazing for that. Too make a build arround it? Hmm... sounds interesting.
And a tip for you: In Lunaris Temple, when you have to deal with "Machinegun" Miscreations (4 arms shooting bitches) and space is tight (narrow bridges), warp behind them or above and sligthly behind. Don't do it from where you came because the projectiles will get you. ;) |
