How does that trick work with pulling a mob to a wall?

How do I get retaliation on me?
I tried several times, but all I get is haste.

First you need to clear you mind. Then envision yourself pulling the mob to the wall. Then, as the mobs…. hold on a sec, how the heck did you manage to get haste with focus??

Cant decipher the first question..

but~

Retaliation requires that you Stand on the line and use a Leap or Blast finisher while there. It’ll then give you the newer Radiant Aura which grants retaliation when hit.

Also, that’s not haste, its swiftness. the two are completely different so be sure to double check before you post :P

Lay temporal curtain on the floor between the mob and the wall, or on the wall itself. Next, activate into the void. Watch as mob is relocated next to wall.

Here’s a kittenty diagram!

The curtain pulls up to 5 targets within range X distance to the central point of the curtain line. So with good placement you don’t even need a wall, you can cluster a group of mobs together. A wall makes it easier as they all generally come to the same “stop” point. Such as with a gutter and rain, or a specially designed shoot that sends M&M’s directly into your mouth!

AMAZING!

Doesn’t work for me, seems I do something wrong.
I walk towards enemy until I’m in range of Illusionary Leap, than I cast Temporal Curtain under the feet of enemy and use sword 3 twice.
Than I get swiftness.

Sorry.

no worries on the mix up.

anyway there was another thread on this so thankfully i have the answer already.

Mesmers have two Leap finishers and 1 Blast finisher.

Phase Retreat , Swap (iLeap for the clone), and Torch 4.

The rules for getting them to count as finishers are a bit weird tho, its not like a guard or warrior.

Phase retreat – you must be standing in the Field (temporal curtain is a light field) when you use the skill for it to count as a Leap. Ending up in field after its use will not count.

i Leap – Only uses leap on the generated clone. The clone must spawn in a field in order to get the leap aka the field needs to be on the target. You will never get the leap from using this first half of the skill.

Swap – You must be standing in a Field when you use the skill in order to proc the Leap finisher (temporal curtain needs to be under your feet). a field at the enemy location will not grant you the leap finisher and swap will never grant your clone a leap finisher either.

Torch 4 is a blast finisher but only at the end of its duration (3 seconds i think) so you need to cast it and then stand on a field when it finishes to have it count as a blast finisher.

I can understand the confusion on Light aura / retaliation not happening as Sword 3 used to behave differently before the nerf/change to it.

hope that helps.
