Hard counters for Illusions
Target the real mesmer? If they are PU, either avoid standing on the illusions, nor use cleave dmg and just nuke them (the real mesmer)?
PU-mesmers punish the general tendency of mindless cleave-spamming. But it is mostly a duelist-specc.
If they are not PU, they are shatter-mesmers .. and how to counter them is an old story by now … .
My suggestion: Ask for help instead of this. Mesmers are not top of the food-chain …. quite the opposite.

Pretty much this.
Mesmers are easy to pick out now compared to their clones and I’d rather not have anymore dumbing down of this game.

My problem with Mesmer balance is that there is virtually no point in destroy their Illusions because of the rate at which they can spawn them.
The most popular Mesmer builds spawn an Illusion every time they dodge (which is a lot thanks to perma-Vigor) additionally to their standard abilities. So “clearing” their Illusions doesn’t really buy you more than 2 seconds of peace before all three are up again.
Destroy clones, CC, burst.
Back to WoW, make GW2 fun please.
And what exactly is the real issue with Mesmers having so many clones?
The real mesmer is easy to identify, and the clones themselves are harmless for anything but a Shatter. And honestly in that regard Warriors Burst is a far more reliable, lower cooldown, and more damage.
You cant “destroy” a Warriors Adrenaline. But you can screw up a Mesmer shatter by destroying clones.
