What I am suggesting here is a Quality of Life change. As it stands, I’m forced to check my phantasms manually (either by buggy aura or by clicking on them) or keep a tab in my head, which causes me to not focus on the fight as much. I would love to see phantasms with chronophantasma on them be a dark purple on our illusion tracking bar (the three dots) if possible. Do you guys have any suggestions?

To be honest, I want easy way to track all my illusions, like a small symbol on that illusion bar to tell me what I have up..

I agree.. Color coded as well so you know between types.

Changing the orb color between clones, phantasms, and CP phantasms would be great. Adding a hover over to state what phantasm(s) are up would be a welcome addition as well.

One thing about Chronophantasma is that it is easy to hear that (really annoying tbh) buzzing from whichever phantasm has it.

But I agree a visual aid on the illusion counter along with finally giving us different coloured dots for clones and phantasms would be nice.

To add to this, what if we have each illusion (iBerserker and iSwordsman for example) a different color on the illusion tab so we know which was the last we summoned without keeping track, so we know which one we might kill should we summon another illusion, sort of like what Vieux P.1238 said.

Yeah but keep in mind…i ment color coded for us.. not for the enemy to see. Or else we loose our confusion advantage witch helps us stay alive.

I meant it to be color coded on the illusion bar (three dots) if I did not make that clear.

What if Mesmer can use the party UI to keep check the illusion status?

By now i can keep track on what i have summoned and shatterd, but at times it’s slightly confusing. I agree that some QOL is needed. Here is what i’m suggesting (added a picture)

A similar thing with different colors/icons with symbols was even suggested like 3 years back, still nothing.

This is a great way to have it done. It shouldn’t confuse new players either, which is a key part.

Great idea with chronophantasma, that’s really a issue atm.

Also maybe a symbol which type of phantasms are up would nice-to-have. Like a the specific weapon of a phantasm within the icon. And no weapon if it’s not a phantasm. So we can easily see how many gs phantasms for example are up.

That was already suggested, like back before/when GW2 started.
I think that the answer was like “too casual” or along those lines, don’t hold me for those words though.

I imagine a kind of glowing ring around the phantasm Dot.

We still need:

  • Little icon in illusion circle for phantasms, showing the weapon-icon it was created from. For the Disenchanter show a wave-icon with a cut through it, for the Defender show a tower.
  • Then for Chronophantasma, grey the circle’s inner fill color for phantasms who are on their second life.
  • This inner fill depletes as the illusion loses health.
The strength of heart to face oneself has been made manifest. The persona Carighan has appeared.
