[[Teleport]] is a mechanic that causes the users or targets to instantly move from one location to another. Unlike [[Shadowstep (mechanic)|shadowstep]], teleporting doesn't require a target in order to move and some teleport skills even ignore pathing.

== Notes ==
* Most skills have unique, built-in limitations for their teleport effect. For example, [[Spectral Recall]] ignores pathing and will always teleport the user back to the destination; and generally, the longer the base range on the teleport, the more durable it is when teleporting vertically.
* Teleport directly down from an elevated point (vertical rock, bridge etc) does not inflict the [[falling damage]].
* Most skills only teleport the caster to locations normally accessible without jumping or falling. Attempts to teleport across a gap or between two elevations usually results in the caster moving to the edge of the current plateau, if the 2 platforms aren't directly connected or the walking distance is too far - in general, the teleport will work if the game can path a non-jumping route to the target location that is not too long. It is also impossible to teleport from a ground point to an underwater target and vice versa. There are, however, a few exceptions:
** [[Portal Entre|Portal]] works across gaps and does not care about elevation, as long as both the entrance and exit portals are created within range of each other.
* These skills can be used while [[Immobile|Immobilized]], but do not remove the effect. The user will still be immobilized on the other side.

== Trivia ==
* In the original ''Guild Wars'', there was a [[gw1:Teleport|mechanic]] with a similar effect.
