Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, yesterday I had the greatest spectral grasp pull yet!
Here is the vid – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWLNVq-K0gI
It’s the very first clip after the intro (there are some more clips of my powermancer gameplay and some glitches I found, you guys can watch that if you want).
In my opinion Spectral Grasp is the best pull (out of magnet, scorpion wire and spectral grasp) because it goes in an arch, so its less likely to be ‘obstructed’.
Feel free to comment spectral grasp experiences of your own!

All I can say is that pulls are usually extremely buggy and don’t work properly most of the time. I hope they’re fixed eventually.

O.o
I.so.hope we run into each other’s some day!
I have a nack for.going strait for.necros now a days lol

In wvw it gets even more fun when you pull down people because they overextended in the believe they are safe on their wall/cliff, but my favorite moment with spectral grasp was on the first day of season 2. Our world had claimed the hall at the beginning off Obsidian Sanctum and was murdering people who dared to come down. So after a while people were just staying at their waypoint waiting for the group to move, so I just pulled them with spectral grasp while the rest of the world killed them off. I got my kills achievement that night.

I remember when I first started WvW I played a spectral power build that used grasp and it was really fun albeit not very optimal. I got a lot of whispers asking how the hell a necro pulled them from atop a tower haha

Haha same happened to me! Someone actually asked me how I used a thief skill…. xD

i just want that spectral grasp get better animation, as thief SW. the trajectory is slow and get easily dodge, miss, blocked or obstructed, the opposite of the thief same skill.

The only I’ve issues with is not getting points when I pull somebody into a hole on Skyhammer

Really? I have lots of issues with point blank “obstructions” and lots of times where they’d only move get pulled about 300 range when I was standing much further (is that a stun breaker being activated or something?). So many problems I stopped running it, despite loving the grasp → dark pact combo.

It’s far more reliable for glass floor trolling than trying to fear people off.

Still my favorite grasp moment:Grasp of Doom

Spectral Grasp will forever have a place in my heart as my favorite utility skill but atm it’s just not realy that viable to run it, but i’ll try to make it work if i get the possibility for it

one of the tricks for using it is to jump during teh cast animation, which will give it longer range and it also seems to get obstructed less.

WvW is great for pulling people off cliffs/forts etc lol.. and into zergs their dead lool

Really? I’ll be sure to test that out because I have also been experiencing random obstructions. And yes it seems that with SG it first pulls the target 300, than waits a second and than pull him all the way to you. And it usually only works on enemies that are running in a straight line. If someone is randomly moving around there is a small chance that he will actually get pulled.
