Almost all quests: greatly speeds up leaving the quest after completion. DDoor to entrance and leave instead of waiting 10 seconds for finish bar to fill.

For Wiz King the key is kill the boss first or second, pick up the phylactery and then drop through to treasure after 3rd kill. I spent years killing Raiyum last before I realized that doing so adds at least 25% quest time. I wanted all the kills to count for Conquest bonus but the time to make that happen is ridiculous for a daily quest. So Raiyum, DDoor to entrance, kill one boss, DDoor to entrance, kill the other, drop through to the treasure room.

- Invitation: skip the difficult Shadow fight at the beginning

- Oath of Vengeance: skip backtracking after flipping levers

- Reach: cast before grabbing the Beacon and go up the tower instead of fighting out of the basement

- Into the Deep: cast before pulling the flood lever to skip the swim

- Wiz King: skip runback from wrong wings

- Diplomatic Impunity: skip run back to Henrietta after talking to the scout

- Stone Crypt: quick return from spider tunnels

Bunch I'm missing here of course, so where else do you get use out of it?

No need to post all the spots it is useful, SSG is already putting in place dimensional anchors to block the use of the spell in certain quests(for example the sally port quest in lordsmarch chain).

Unless of course this is the objective of your post?

I assume you are talking about Assault on Summerfield? I didn't have a problem using DDoor in that quest to get back to the sally port. (just retried it)

Quests where dimension door can range from avoiding fights to saving time spent running:

This is nice but it doesnt actually help people find new tricks, unless you say where and how it can be used

Thought of another though...

- Quid Pro Quo: use to skip runback to portals after finishing each wing. Do the Griffon one first, as it takes < 60 secs so your DDoor wont be off CD if you use it before.

Memoirs
Multiitude of Menace

Misery's Peak.
Heyton casts it to takenus to Korthos.
Thus teaching us the value of the spell.
SSG Clearly wants us to use DDoor for speed, otherwise the tutorial quests wouldn't show us how to use it.

For similar reasons it helps with ice mount curse to get back from the Fomarian Cave and the Sap puzzle. Especially if you ran by the mobs and left them hanging up top.

Any quest that DDoor is not disabled in. I have on a few occasions used DDoor to summon a healer into a fight that went poorly.
Also; grab stones, DDoor out of the fight, start rezzing.
