Notes[edit]

  • Sometimes in WvW/PvP if this skill is cast from higher terrain, it causes the pulled target to fly in the air and take falling damage, occasionally killing them instantly.
  • Sometimes the target isn't pulled all the way, the cause is unknown.
  • This skill causes 350 Defiance bar damage.
  • Becoming obstructed while channeling does not stop the pull so long as you are not obstructed when the channel ends.
