Is there any way to make lightning warp instant/Faster?

Hey guys.

Im wondering about Lightning warp.

Is there any way to get this skill to work like a teleport? I really miss a teleport-like ability for traveling/escape/initiate. And Leap slam+WB has its limit.

I tried using smoke bomb but it felt too high maintenance. The problem with lightning warp is the delay.

Is there any game mechanics that can speed this skill up closer to being a teleport? I really dont feel this is useful for damage in any way. So it kinda sucks that this skill dont have the option to lose the damage to become instant.

reduced duration support gem is coming out on release and it reduces the teleportation delay

Lightning warp is predominantly affected by movement speed. The greater your movement speed, the faster you will travel with lightning warp. If you use a quicksilver flask, your travel time is faster.

faster casting also reduces it.

Move speed + cast speed have to be balanced properly to get the best effect out of this skill.

To much move speed and the casting speed will delay LW, in a similar way, to much cast speed and to less move speed will also delay the LW.

(the qaulity on LW is cast speed and this is very valuable for the usage of the skill, and it ramps up pretty heavily after qaulity lvl 17%)

Like i mentioned before if one value exceeds the other it is a waste.

So Lightning warp+Faster attacks+Reduced duration with the appropriate move/cast speed and you are set? :)

This is a spell so its not affected by faster attacks but faster casting

there will be a reduced duration gem in 1.0.0

I run a dual lightning totem warper, and while it is not perfected and i don't even have %LW, it is getting pretty close to instant warp.

I imagine if i have lvl 20 qaulity LW and my skill tree is finalized, it will deal insane damage because =

A. your totems cant get hurt since they shift from spot to spot so rapidly and deal dps in aoe
B. shockstacking is rediculueze with this build
C. the dps is not limited like other skills but can be manipulated by outside effect's like move speed.

D. added fun, you can run lvl 20 artic armor since you don't ever have to run around.
