Two of the most effective means to mitigate or negate the effectiveness of AreaOfEffect attacks are to keep a group spread out and to get out of the danger area before the attack hits. The Corralling Vacuum counteracts these measures in two ways: it brings enemies together, and it confines them to some degree, making evasion of follow-up attacks difficult or impossible.
These attacks will often have wider-than-average [=AoEs=], have faster travel speeds, have less warning than other attacks, and/or have other means of making them easier to catch multiple enemies in than other [=AoE=] attacks. Naturally, their effectiveness would be more limited if they were no easier to land than the attacks you would follow them up with.
These abilities will often (but not always) be relatively weak in their own right - however, because of how well they enable follow-up, they tend to be powerful abilities. Often, in addition to being drawn in, victims may be partially or completely disabled for the duration, making these abilities potent crowd control.
Simply pulling in an enemy isn't enough to qualify - there are two key traits.
* The ability can bring (potentially) multiple enemies together.
* The ability makes it difficult for those affected by it to immediately leave the area they were just pulled into - whether that be by slowing them down, disabling them, continuously pulling in things in its [=AoE=], or similar.
With the Corralling Vacuum often being [[GravitySucks themed around gravity]], you can expect to see in the repertoire of a GravityMaster. They are frequently caused by the summoning of an UnrealisticBlackHole, due to the inextricable link between black holes and sucking things in.
