  1. Hotbar
    Sand Tornadoor Shadow Slicer
  2. Space
    Silent Breach
  3. W+F
    Paradise SurgeCast 1 i-frame, cast 2 full Super Armor

This is usually all the movement you need. Most spots are tower spots, so you rarely travel far. A jump into LMB also works.

I-frames

  1. Shift+Direction
    Sand WarpWorks from Pre-Awakening too
  2. W+F
    Paradise SurgeCast 1 i-frame, cast 2 full Super Armor

These two, plus your Lv. 58 Skill Enhancement, are the ones to focus on for pack to pack movement.
