It seems to me that these skills generally don’t pull or push, even on flat surfaces with nothing to get Stuck on. Instead, they just knock down the opponent on the spot.
Happens mostly on sky hammer, I want the map removed, however since it’s still here i need to learn why this is occurring most of the time. For me it happens to Asuran targets almost always.

Any tips or ideas?
Thanks

So frustrating when I’m trying to pull someone in the hammer room and they don’t move.

Anet likely didn’t want to remove the armor stats entirely because…well,
we’ve all seen what happens in games where there’s no disadvantage to taking your pants off.

You need to be in combat with your target for pulls to work 100% of the time. As for push skills, I haven’t had this problem and they’ve always worked for me so I can’t help you here.

Also another thing to look out for when you do knockbacks—there will be random issues where your enemy (when pushed/pulled/launched) will “rubber band” due to server lag and/or some bad code. That’s probably the most annoying for me. “Rubber banding” makes the opponent look like they got hit somewhere, but they auto-relocate elsewhere. #randomhallucinations #thisisreal

The rubber banding off knockbacks is especially frustrating when trying to decap a point. It can be game changing.

It would be whatever if it happened maybe once every 100 Magnets! But it literally happens once every 3 Magnets! Worst!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Yeah, the De-Sync between server and client are extremely bad in GW2 – specifically for push/pull skills. I have no clue how they got past the initial PvP/WvW Quality Assurance guys.

The positions were probably not vacant when Guild Wars 2 was in Beta, but yeah, I see your point. :P
