Guild Wars 2

I noticed that the amount of supply you have floats above the players head, even the enemy teams. This is nice so you can slow down other players as well as keep them from their objectives. But, I noticed for mesmers and their clone mechanic, the supply only floats above the actual characters head, and not the clones. I never really liked playing a mesmer, it’s not my play style, but a lot of the fun I have fighting them is having to know what to look for, if one strafes or is backpeddaling it’s a character not a clone, and little things like that, and if I were a mesmer the clones are a big deal that add to fight confusion and overwhelming the enemy because counting enemies is hard with a mesmer around. The floating supply amount defeats the mechanic and confusion of the clones because there is no guessing or deducing the real from the fake, as the real is the only one with supply floating over their head. This could be fixed with either symbols in the avatar picture itself, having an additional bar below the health bar over the enemies head, or simply letting the floating supply graphics float above the clones heads as well. Anyone else have any thoughts? Agree? Disagree?

It is not likely to be fixed as this is the same issue that comes with only the real mesmer having certain boons at times or signet/mantra icons and also the icon overhead in downed state which also points out the real mesmer. ANet prefers to ignore that mechanic.

Putting it next to the party bar or character avatar is a good idea. I don’t need to see my party members supply count in this game mode. Only they do. if its meant for enemies to be able to see as well (working as intended) then I would hope they put it over the clones as well.
