phoenix dive is now only sold by the fire elemental in your homestead, once you manage to collect 4 starstones to open the first elemental room.
just got there myself, and note that each of the elementals sells a couple of skill books that look to be unique (meaning I haven't seen them in the regular shops at all).
...and, just tried it out.
ok, it works like the ranger tactical retreat ability, allowing you to teleport anywhere up to 15m away. it also applies a 3m diameter firefield where you left from. so, you can use it to jump into or out of a fight, but the problem is... it applies the firefield BEFORE you jump out... so you're on fire when you land.
doh.
poorly playtested to be sure. still functional, i suppose, if barely. you definitely would take less damage than a battering ram through a field of fire, that's for sure.
all they need to do to fix it is apply the firefield to the place you jumped from just AFTER you jump.
