How Pull In Works
Pull In moves enemies toward one of several possible anchor points, depending on the skill you've used:
| Anchor Type | Description | Example Skills |
|---|---|---|
| Player (caster) | Pulls enemies to the player's position | Steel Grasp, Thunderspike, Vortex |
| Placed skill location | Pulls enemies toward a ground-placed effect | Death Trap, Inferno |
| Corpse or object target | Pulls enemies to a targeted corpse/object | Corpse Tendrils |
Pull In is considered a Crowd Control effect in the broad sense because it alters enemy movement, but it does not apply a disabling CC state. Enemies can still attack or begin actions while being moved, and Pull In does not reliably trigger CC-based damage bonuses such as:
- Damage to Crowd Controlled Enemies
- Damage Reduction from Crowd Controlled Enemies
unless another Crowd Control effect (such as Slow or Stun) is applied at the same time.
Pull In itself deals no damage; it only repositions enemies.

Why Pull In Is Useful
Pull In helps with:
- Grouping enemies tightly for large AoE attacks
- Controlling enemy positions

- Pull In works on elites unless they have CC immunity.
