I find it odd how every other ability I’ve used on ranged attacks requires line of sight in order to be used or I get the “Obstructed” message except for placed AoE abilities. Why is it, that a Guardian who obviously can’t see me, is still able to pull me off walls and cliffs?

Intentional? I sure hope not.

Uh….. Mesmer wall pull?

Anyways, it is because the mechanic it uses. The actual blade attack that then allows you to be pulled is a projectile and can be obstructed, however the actual pull is a debuff on you, that as long as you are in range, pulls you. Similar to the Mesmer wall pull, in which the pull is not a projectile but a single source that pulls everything around it in range. The difference is that guardian has to land the initial attack first.

the curtain doesnt pull you off the wall if you cannot attack the people below the wall. It only pulls you to the edge. If you can attack the people below, then be careful because the curtain will pull you off the wall

It still pulls does it not? Guardian pull acts the exact same way. Also, I have seen multiple people be pulled off the wall without being on the edge before, It depends on the positioning of the curtain on the wall and the person on the wall., not if the person can attack you or not.

If you are pulled in quick succession, it can take you off the wall.

I once had an enemy champion breakout NPC hit me with binding blade on the wall – except when he pulled me I hit the wall edge and went flying 100 feet straight upwards in the air and came splatting down on the ground again.

Wish I had video capture switched on…

Sounds fun. That’s probably worth trying to reproduce

As another poster already noted, you CAN be pulled off a wall even if you can’t attack those below you. I just had this happen for the first time in WvW last night. Maybe it’s a new bug???

Not sure what happened exactly, but I was manning an AC along the back edge of the wall when all of a sudden I got pulled off the AC (not by a Guardian, I was never in LoS for his chain) to the front of the wall (one that has a little ledge) then pulled again right down into their zerg. Maybe 2 mesmers in a row got me? Anyway, I was shocked, but being a thief, I still lived…..then caused havoc among them w/ CnD, so maybe theirs wasn’t such a good idea, LOL.

It does pull off if they are standing on edge. I’ve done it many times in wvw with my Mesmer.
