Guild Wars 2

So as I was fighting some invaders in our BL, I teleported to the arch and then boom I saw a clone of myself casting thingy similar to that of mesmer’s Phantasmal Warlock. I believe this had happened before, quite rare times. Could someone explain this to me?

Certain mesmer projectiles have “Create a clone of yourself” as an on-hit effect. Namely, the third hit of the scepter’s auto-attack (and greatsword #2, but that can’t be reflected…)

If you reflect them and they hit something, then the projectile counts as yours, so it’ll make a clone of you to attack them.

It’s similar to how reflecting a thief’s scorpion wire will pull them to you.

Thank you for the straightforward response

Staff – Earth – Magnetic Aura (third skill) is the reflect you most likely used.

The amusing thing about this is, while mesmers are programmed to only allow 3 illusions at once, other classes are not. Theoretically, you could spawn enough clones to crash the server.

While I do hope they fix the limit at 3 for every class, I really want them to keep the reflection clone spawning in the game. I main a mesmer and it could be used against me but it’s just too awesome to give up!
