So my mesmer uses clones to do bleeding attacks on critical hits via a trait.

1. Do clones inherit condition damage stat from their caster (from caster’s armor and weapons) to bulk up the damage they do with their bleeds?
2. After casting, if I weapon swapped to say, something without condition damage (one example, from a Rampager staff to a Berserker greatsword), do the clones do reduced damage on their bleeds or do they keep what stats they had at the time they were summoned?

The source of the Bleed will still be from you (if you hover over the bleed icon) So it will be using your Condition Damage. The Damage dealt is based off of the Condition Damage at the time of application, so if you are using a weapon with no condition damage, and they get a stack of bleed, they will take less damage than if you were using a Condition Damage weapon.

Basically, Clones don’t have stats, they just borrow yours whenever it’s appropriate (With the appropriate damage modifiers, which will generally be low or non-existent)
