Guild Wars 2

Not the first to suggest this, but skill bar coming up so what the heck:

-Remove useless retaliation part of attack
-Change slow stupid bouncing projectile to the instant downed state attack we have that damages and applies confusion instantly to target. Attack frequency remains the same. Each attack applies 5 stacks of confusion instead of 3, again the attack being the same one we use in downed state so no just sidestepping slow moving orbs. Only difference is 5 stacks instead of 1 and buffed direct damage component, and same attack frequency as before.

Or make it 5 stacks of confusion of 10 seconds duration, bouncing and homing projectile.

I think the whole bouncing projectile thing needs to go, given how slow it is and how illusionary elasticity doesn’t work on illusions. If it’s going to be homing why not just have it hit instantly, like GS clones etc? For the “but no counter play!” crowd just put a big attack animation on it. It can take as long as you want to cast the attack, but once it does it hits unless dodged (no walking out of the way).

IE works on the iMage, just not staff clones casting WoC (not sure if that’s what you meant).

I think it only works on the retal part, single-2 targets anyway.

make Image heal when it bounces to ally, so we may have some way to help out team minorly, and all these useless healtraits would be more of use,

well ofc ppl say ‘dmg is the way to go’

but giving it 1 -2 k heals /bounce isnt that bad i guess, and change the confusion of it to torment or add torment additional to confusion or whatever

If you drop iMage’s bounce, you drop it’s traited condi cleanse on bounce. Thus nerfing the torch CD trait. Simple solution is to make torch skill activation cleanse 2 condi’s per skill. Otherwise some other buff is in order.

BTW, iMage heal on bounce for “team support” is a rubbish idea. There’s zero support in that.

Make it like iWarlock but deal more damage for each confusion stack on foe instead of each condition. Make it +4% or 5% dmg for each stack of confusion and increase the base damage to match iWarlock. Done.

Why? Why do you want a second illusion that does the same as one we already have?
I’d suggest that they change it to the way they wanted it to be like before the release: Make a power-based phant that attacks everytime the enemy uses a skill.
