Guild Wars 2

I know this has been brought up before as it was mentioned in the bug thread. However this bug is more prominent now that torch+PU has been buffed:

Clones do not appear with off-hand weapon.

The reason this is more prominent with torch is that the torch is off-hand and it glows. It becomes rather simple to find the real mesmer in the clone mix, as you can see in this pic:

what i have also noticed about clones is that for some reason when they are spawned they start out in my S/TPvP gear for less then a second but its still clearly visible to me, not sure how visible it is to those that i am fighting though.

The game has been bugged with off hand weapons for ALONG time, it wont get fixed any time soon (if ever – it is Anet after all)

I have to believe this is an easy fix, just not high on the priority list for ANet. I think it should be promoted to a higher priority so it gets into one of the builds this summer.

Its been in the game since the start and hasnt been fixed, personally i dont think that it ever will be. Knowing Anet they will fix that bug and create an even worse bug like that the clones have NO weapons lol

It may be odd, but one of my biggest frustrations with this game is that trident clones have no weapons. I really love the look of my trident and it drives me absolutely bonkers that my clones are just waving their hands around in the air water instead of carrying copies of my super awesome jade mesmer orca stick.

I use GS/Staff so I don’t have the same issues as dual wielding mesmers but I feel your pain. Not only do the awesome looks of offhands like Anomaly or the HoM sword, go to waste, but they create a giant glowing “HEY LOOK, I’M THE REAL ONE!” beacon that 2h users don’t have to worry about. It’s not fair.

And more importantly it makes us look less cool.

That is a small problem, but be aware the torch glow is only for you. I don’t know if you have done the jumping puzzle in LA where there is a Large Dark room, but if anyone else near you has fire( Torch, Flame sword, Halloween back) it doesn’t produce any Light/Glow for you, only themselves. So even if in WvW, or PvP you use a torch, odds are in the heat of combat most players will not be able to tell that 1/4 of the mesmers they see has a torch and the other 3/4 dont.

Unless this is changed by one of the 3 graphic settings I don’t have on max, this statement should be true.
