Telekinesis: Bring Back Some Legendary Goodness!

I can see this being useful in rare instances where some loot fell in a tight spot that you simply can't walk over to. I had one occurrence of this in a temple after opening a T3 room box and the item got stuck between it and an altar. Being able to grab it with telekinesis would be great.

Other than that, I don't see a whole lot of uses for it. Chances are good that it would just be faster to run up to it and pick it up than deal with cast speed.

Why do you assume the cast speed would be teh suck?

Also, about other uses for it:
- Not getting frozen/ignited/etc by unid Strongboxes
- Opening Strongboxes (id or unid) and avoiding danger
~ This is deluxe.

- Picking up items that fall at the periphery of your screen.
~ Enough can't rly be said about this. An Augmentation Orb drops. Normally, you might not pick it up; but with this, you just schwoof over your cursor and click on it, all the while still moving in a "forward" direction with your toon.

- Hitting switches in the Labyrinth
~ :)

- Clicking on Stash or NPCS or Crafting Benches from nearly anywhere in your Hideout.
~ C'mon.

So those are some uses, other than the esoteric one you imagined.

Hi,

So in D2, pre-nerf, Telekinesis made Soceresses ninjalooter champions.

Fun story:
1st day of a D2 season I used a teleporting sorceress to quickly bypass most of the game, used the static skill to take % off bosses and such. This was after version 1.10 or whichever one added the synergies. I was using only fire skills, mainly fireball to kill everything. Hell difficulty was particularly fast because about half the monsters were immune to fire so I just teleported past them.

I joined a group for the first time to kill the council in Travincal in hell difficulty. The other two players were using cold sorceresses casting blizzards. We killed off all of the council guys quickly until we got to the last one... who was immune to both cold and fire.

One of the guys went afk and logged in on another account to ask people in chat to come and help, but he found nobody. The two of us that were still there... started using Telekinesis. It actually worked rather well because of the knockback. We had him stunlocked in a corner between the two of us, each doing about 2-4 damage with each cast.

The third guy came back and laughed at us when he saw what we were doing. Then he joined us and we finished off the quest in about 5 minutes.

Fun times.
