Guild Wars 2

I’m hoping someone can validate the findings I posted in this thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/mesmer/Phantasmal-Mage-again/first#post2967729

TL;DR

• Clones casting WoC do not inherit the mesmer’s condition duration (tested bleeding). On the other hand, duelist and clone sharper images procs/projectile finishers through ethereal fields do inherit it.
• Mesmer confusion duration bonuses (Illusions V; perplexity runes) do not apply to iMage, but condition duration does. This may have always been this way, even after the condition duration fix, but I’m not sure.

I thought at least condition duration for all illusions was fixed a few patches ago but it appears to be broke, at least for staff clones. I tested both in PvE open world and HOTM. Has anyone else experienced this?

Don’t know about staff clones.

Do know that the trait doesnt apply, and perplexity runes confusion duration bonus is broken right now.

I’ve tested the clones casing WoC with 40% extra condition duration. 10% from lyssa and 30% from the trait line. The tool tip for winds of chaos says the bleed should last around 9 seconds. However, when hovering above the enemy it only said and lasted for 7 seconds. So yes, you’re right that the clones do not inherit the Mesmer’s condition duration properly.

If possible you should try to start a thread up in the bugs forum. They usually acknowledge and fix things faster there : )

@Jedge, that was my experience as well. I fully intend to post a bug thread but wanted to try to get some validation first. Thanks for doing that.
