Un-Nerf Greedy Pull

[Neightrix]

Greedy Pull now line-of-sight only. This was the biggest reason to put Pull on any frame. There's no harm in pulling all loot in range, it's just utility. If it's a goal to make all of the helminth abilities appealing in some way, this was a move away from that. I believe this should be reverted.

Wasn't the nerf like, a thousand years ago?

I mean, it was buffed with Helminth iirc, pulling things 33% faster.

A bit late to post about it, isn't it?

That was before I started playing the game, and it has never had a line-of-sight limitation since I've been playing. I guess that change didn't hold or was reverted without making note of it.

Unlikely. What is more likely is that you didn't perceive the LoS.

And then reverted again recently, causing you to make the thread, also without making a note of it?

If you can find mention of it in the patch notes, it would help. I can only find the buff it got.

My play time with Mag says otherwise, although I understand the skepticism since you don't know me.

Let's put it like this: you have to prove that something changed. Do you have a video from before the "nerf"? DE won't look into something just because something feels off to you.

I never used Greedy Pull much myself, but LOS to enemies (and probably items) last for a little bit after they disappear behind some terrain. I.e. they are 'remembered' for a short time. I think this was implemented when DE was changing Excalibur's Radial Javelin way back when.

So if you have LOS to items, then move behind a barrier and cast Pull immediately you should still pull in the item. I will need to test to see if that is still true, but there shouldn't have been any change to Pull as others have said.

people have been consistently complaining about the nerf since the nerf(years ago). (x)doubt on anything having changed.
