Guild Wars 2

Cause my phantasmal dueliest is doing the exact same damage to a target dummy in lions arch, whether I use a lv 13 pistol vs lv 80 pistol….

anyone do some testing yet? Have yet to test it on a lv 80 mob yet though. But i’ve tested it on a target dummy in lions arch and a lv 42 drake in bloodtide coast and a lv 62 mob in fireheart rise.

though the lv 42 and lv 62 might not be an accurate test since your damage is limited via leveling scaling there anyways..

Phantasm (direct) damage is determined by your Power stat.

Lol. Good thing i didn’t waste my 300 tokens buying a level 80 exotic pistol then.

Cause the exotic pistol has only 10 more power than my blue lv 80 pistol. Definately not gonna see any difference there. I’ll just stick with my crappy pistol since it has almost the same power stat.

cough cough design flaw.

I really think it’s based on weapon power, too, because every attack you do is based on weapon power.

All illusions are affected by your “current” stats. Toughness, Vitality, Power, Precision and so on.

Level scaling is pretty unfair (too extreme). Even if you’re downscaled from 80 to 10, you’re meant to use lvl80 weapons. Using lvl10 weapons will drop your damage even in a lvl10 area.
So always try to get the strongest weapons for you.

illusions also take on the the “proc” stats for weapon sigil…so a sigil of earth would grant the iDuelest and clones you create while using the pistlol the 60% bleed proc.

Has this been verified?

Not true. The only Sigils that can affect Illusions are those that modify your stats, such as Sigil of Battle.

Obviously not, since its easy to test in the mist and no sigils and armor rune effects wont transfer to illusions. If “Garruda.4201” did some test at all, he did it with the sharper images trait active, assuming the bleeds come from the sigil, while they actually came from crits + trait. If u don’t take this trait and the earth sigil u can easily test and verify that no illusion will apply bleeds, except the staff clones that does this anyway.

I used to run Sigil of air on my off hand and saw my iswordie proc the lightning effect on the beta. I don’t know if that has been changed.

Doesn’t this make weapon damage on pretty much all our off hands redundant?
