Movement ability for mage.

Hey there, i didnt know where to ask but I chose this place and I hope this is proper subforum :)

Is there any 'ow shit, I'm in trouble, need to run' spell/ability for a mage? I've seen some people mention they have one, like some kind of movement ability or smth like that. I've heard about phase run but i also heard it was taken away right? So what's left for my ice mage shadow? I started playing alt a bit and really liked 'whirling blade' because of being able to quickly move around battlefield. But as I'm double wielding wands i can't use it, are there any other similar abilites?

I'm getting really powerfull but I'm also quite vulnarable so I'd like such an ability :) I got discipline so that will probably help me a bunch, but my mana suffers from it especially cause i got leveled clarity xD

Ice wall is supposely nice for making my character safer but it last too short and is too narrow for it to work IMO.

I got spell totem that draws some attention (switched for taunt totem) but I'd still like to be able to quickly move around like with whirling blades xD
Find a quicksilver flask which replaced phase run as a movement skill.
I got some movement speed flasks but they are always with mana/hp and it works only when repleneshing, and since im using clarity it would work too short and im not often in need of hp. It works wihout replenishment?

That might be cool but i'd rather have some kind of 'roll' or 'blink'. Nothing like that for me?
Well, there is leap slam, which makes you jump somewhere, I doubt it's useful for a mage. There is also a lightning warp skill, but it's far from instant.

Quicksilver flask is a flask that adds 40% movement speed, so you can run away when needed.

EDIT. To answer your question however, nothing like blink or teleport.

I just found out about lightening warp in-game too. Seems like it might be what i was looking for, even though its delay might be quite annoying. Have to check it out. Weird thing i havent seen it being sold at trade channel. Its rare and expensive possible?

ps. is there a site with ~prices of gems?
There isn't a site like that. You will find a wide spread of prices for gems at the current state of the economy. Good news is, that not many people are using it, so it should be cheap.
Protip: Combine it with a quicksilver flask to reduce the delay, because it's based on your movement speed.
Yeah i guess, i think i've used that to get things cheaper but also paid bigger price for things i wanted than i should. I already got the spell, thought its rare but i got plenty of offers ;) Delay is kinda annoying but it seems good cause on the same time i can attack all the time and move away from enemies without actually wasting time to move xD. Are there other methods to make delay shorter. Like faster projectiles or smth? I guess that won't work because its not projectile xD but maybe something similar.
It's based on your movement speed, so whatever modifies that (boots come to mind as an obvious option). Nothing else.
Ok, thanks.

btw. it seems it's first spell i won't level up at all, cause i will mostly teleport away and use its functionality not for dmg, and leveling it up only rises mana and dmg.
Played around a bit with this spell and i must say I'm not feeling it. Seems nice in theory, but when i need to run i cant use it and when i dont need to run its useless to use it anyway. Only in situation when i can estimate than in 1 second or so i will need to run that would be usefull, but waiting time and casting time makes it really uncofortable and ureliable for me.

I'd like to see elemental variation of whirling blade for example turning in to ice/lightening and quickly dash like WB and dmg enemies i go through :)

So nothing else for movement etc? I hope smth like that will be added :)
