Fighters have a [[Rush]] skill that allows them to rush towards a target; and upon reaching the target, deal an amount damage with a chance to knock the target down. A [[Mage's_escape|Mage's escape]] augment could be applied to the rush skill, which would now teleport the player to the target; thus eliminating the charge time on the skill.</blockquote>
