Hey gang,
The changes to the Brothers Whim yesterday introduced a latency issue with the pull portion of his Arcane ability. The issue comes up when there is a delay between your client and the server (which is pretty much all the time, given the nature of data traveling across the Internet). What happens is that you activate the ability and the pull happens, but the pull goes to the place that the server thinks Whim is at and not where you see him on your screen. This can make it look like the mobs pulled by the ability slingshot away from you (depending on how much difference there is, or how much latency your client has with the server).
We already have a fix for it in work. It will be to make the Brothers stand still briefly when you activate the ability to give time for the server to sync up and the mobs to go where you want them to.
If all goes well, this fix will go out with the patch later today to turn on free respecs.
