+'''Teleport''' is a Defensive [[Wizard skill]] unlocked at [[clvl|Level]] 22, allowing the [[caster]] to instantly transport herself a short distance through the air.  This skill moves the Wizard over obstacles that can not be run past or around, including walls, closed gates, open pits or gaps in the floor, and more.  It is highly useful to avoid dangerous Elite modifier effects, such as [[Waller]] and [[Jailer]].
 ==Background==
 The Teleport [[skill]] is a way for trained [[magic]] users to traverse the Ether - and with the speed of thought - materialize in another location a short distance from the entry point. This skill works without the aid of external gateways like the [[Town Portal]] spell or [[Waypoint]]s, but is likely using similar techniques. The Teleport spell is only reliable over short distances, to jump gaps, or to escape immediate danger.

 In one of the [[BlizzCon 2008]] panels, Teleport was demonstrated with a [[Striking Rune|striking]] [[skill rune]] socketed in it. With the rune, the spell was given an offensive component, dealing damage to all monsters in the area to which the wizard teleported. Socketing in a [[Hydra Rune]] (former name: Multi Strike) would instead cause the Wizard to split into images of herself when teleporting, making the skill useful to distract [[monster]]s, just like [[Mirror Image]]. The names of the skill runes have since been changed and it is unknown whether similiar rune effects for Teleport have been retained.

+Each class has been given at least one [[movement ability]] with a unique design/feel. Teleport is the most powerful of these in terms of where and how and how quickly it can move. The drawback is the [[cooldown]] time between uses.

-Teleport has been seen in videos, and was testable for the first time in the PvP Arena demo at [[Blizzcon 2010]]. The main difference in the Diablo III version (compared to the Diablo II version) is in the character animation.  In the new version, the Wizard leaps up into the air when casting it, appears in the air at the location she targets the skill, and falls to the ground after she appears. This makes the spell less of an instant escape/movement option. Just in case that wasn't clear enough, the developers have added a fairly lengthy [[cooldown]] to the skill. They seem to be serious about not letting Teleport be the queen of all fast moving, item run spells! However, the spell can be used offensively with the addition of [[rune|skill runes]].

 <blockquote>''Teleport was fun to use, and I was surprised at how quick it was. I’d thought with the new Diablo III animation—where the Wizard leaps up into the air before vanishing, and appears in mid-air and drops to earth on the other end—that it would be kind of slow. Not noticeable. Teleport felt as instantaneous as the Teleport in Diablo II. The delay was from the cooldown, which was around 8 seconds. This effectively turned Teleport into an emergency escape skill, one that was great during the busy scramble of an early round, but one that wasn’t so useful late game, if you were outnumbered and being hunted down.</blockquote>
 ===Beta===
-Skill tiers were removed shortly before the [[beta]] started in September 2011, and Teleport became a level 18 skill. Fortunately, it was available in the [[BlizzCon 2011]] PvP demo, and The Eliminator was able to try it out:[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2011-pvp-demo-the-wizard]
+{{Beta skill notes}}
 <blockquote>''Hands down, Teleport is still king of the movement skills. It was never more evident during the match when you wanted to get away from a group of opponents. You could Teleport twice to get out of sight, then turn left or right and lose almost any pursuer. Teleport wasn’t just for running away, either. It was also great to catch up to people so you could finish them off.</blockquote>
-When the skill system was once again overhauled for the [[Beta Patch 13]] in February 2012, Teleport was classified as a Defensive skill and bumped up to level 22.
+With the Patch 13 changes, Teleport was classified as a Defensive skill and bumped up to level 22.
