Just a weapon/utility skill I would like to throw out there for Anet that I have enjoyed in past games. I can see this skill being handy in dungeons, world bosses, spvp, wvw, downed players, etc…1/2 second cast, 20-25 second cd, and friendly targets in party.

edit for tooltip not showing.

Thanks to that_shaman and WoodenPotatoes for all the work put into the tooltip builder.

While the idea of extracting an ally from danger is kind of cool, I feel like this skill would almost certainly be used for trolling more than anything else.

That might work, but would also really limit the worth of the skill beyond Dungeons or PvP. Maybe as an alternative it would be better if it only effected Downed allies. It wouldn’t really be possible to troll with it in that case.

I would like it to work in Party, up & downed players, one target. Personally I would like to see this on the Druid staff to bring a skill unique to the Ranger…portal(mes), etc.

The Necro traited can pull 5 downed friendly targets.

Here’s how some other games have worked it.

While this is kind of true, with the priest skill in Wow for example, i feel like this is harmless fun trolling, as long as the cooldown is long enough. Then again i’ve saved tons of people by pulling them out of fire in wow with this skill. So i guess the positive would outweigh the negative :p.

While i don’t play ranger, i wouldn’t mind druid getting something like this.

If you are looking for a cozy mature Dutch guild (EU) let me know.

The necro downed-pull is pretty wonderful, though it seems like it’d be really good for trolling, specially with all the cliffs in HoT.

Remember there aren’t any abilities that directly target friendlies.

The problem I see with a Leap of Faith in GW2 is the huge trolling potential. Someone could use it to pull people in a damage field. Blizzard fixed the issue by making it only work on the people in your party, but in GW2 most of the grouping is “ad-hoc” so that kind of limitation would be alien to the game.

Shortly after my first post, I suggested making it work for downed allies only. I agree that if it worked more like the Necro’s skill then it would be quite useful. The difference is that it would be a more active skill that wouldn’t require a specific trait to use.

Maybe a friendly pull could change into a 1 man portal.

Simply throw a portal that can only carry one person rather than 20. The exit portal is where you directly are. So you could troll through trickery like a mesmer portal can, but you cannot forcefully displace someone.

The trolling would be on a whole new level. If this wasn’t party only could you just imagine ?

Just for an example, there are already players that hate GvG and will go out of their way to troll them, give those players the ability to pull people on the same server and it would become the most abused skill in the game but for troll purposes. Thats only one example, some people like to troll just because they can, and technically you would have to prove they are trolling and not just being a nub which would be impossible.

I don’t even know how many times I have pulled a downed ally over to me with transfusion and rezed em up. It actually works really well. Great to do it as the enemy goes for the spike u yank em over to safety.

Maybe if it works like Thresh’s Lantern from League of Legends.

It is a chain with a lantern on the tip,when Thresh throws the lantern,if an ally clicks on it they are pulled towards Thresh.

Ta da! No more trolling,people cant pull random ally anymore

I never played a Priest in WoW, but I was a support/heal Medic in Wildstar pvp/pve and it was extremely helpful to pull a party member in both game modes. It also brought a new element to support/control.

Allowed only on players within party would be a must.
