Guild Wars 2

Sorry, I can’t remember the actual name of the ability right now. It’s the one that you shoot backwards underwater, and then drag the opponent toward you.

Except that that second half doesn’t seem to be working, pretty much at all.

Am I missing something here? What’s the purpose of this ability? I guess it’s nice to have an additional Evade option, but I can’t seem to get the timing right to use it as such, even for that limited use.

So, I guess I have two questions:
1) Does anyone out there actually use this ability effectively, and understand its intended utility?
2) Is there perhaps a dev in the house that can explain how it’s supposed to be used, and whether or not it’s working according to that design?

I use it to pull enemies in wvw into the 5th ability, the net. Some players try to swim around it and that way i can force them into the immo.

Shoot net → pull mob or player into it → Switch to nades → profit

I can’t seem to get it to draw enemies to me either.

Well dont forget it has a limited range. If the enemy isnt close enough to you, you will move backwards without pulling him along. Only if hes in like 400-600 (dont know the exact amount but if sure feels small) range to him hell be pulled. Try to get closer next time im sure itll work.

I use it in conjunction with mines:

1) deploy net turret

2) deploy mines

3) pull mob into mines

4) kite and shoot until cooldown
