yes and nah... you can also read it in the other way like : We made it rellies on FWR so if you want it to be normal ( viable) stack Fwr

I see where you are coming from... but don't you think most skills require you to stack some sort of stat/passive? Obviously, Lightning Warp is horribly underwhelming right now. Changes are on the way though: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/362530

Oh thx dude, i heard of gem rework but its lw nice!

IMO minimum distance is because of latency

there will never be d2-like teleport in client-server game. it would cause client to be out of sync all of the time

Since when Desync is a prob for GGG?

I guess the issue is, what is minimum range?

the prob is that you cant it the same target twice in row so its pretty inefficient

Unless you get a lot of passives and Increase AoE passive but damage is sort of crummy because of the random damage (and something else I'll get to in a mo'). I got more than halfway towards a build using Lightning Warp, Molten Shell and Ice Nova. Other than the terrible mana cost on everything Molten Shell does most of the work and Lightning Warp, which I was mainly working on, isn't very useful outside of keeping up Arctic Armour up cheaply because the teleport isn't movement so it doesn't cost more. LW with quality (increases cast speed) makes it better but there are problems with getting good DPS with it that's not quite what you think...

LW can do decent damage but its mana cost makes it totally unreasonable to use aggressively this way. Casting LW inbetween spells (which I was doing with Ice Nova and Molten Shell) is the way to go, but it has problems. If your MoveSpeed is too fast, you don't get time to cast what you want inbetween the warp. This was bad in what I wanted to do. There is a sort of positive if your MS is too fast; casting LW too quickly doesn't move you sometimes. It's possible to cast LW once or twice and not teleport, trying to teleport the minimum distance will still AoE where you meant to go but you don't go there. With fast MS, you can spam cast LW and not teleport half the time. Cast speed allows you to do more things between warping to your location; it cuts the casting cooldown significantly. If you have a skill that you need to aim at something, teleporting can ruin your targeting.
