Guild Wars 2

I think that Clone auto attacks should be timed with the Mesmer auto attack, like when the when the Mesmer uses Auto attack so do the clones, its FAR to easy to tell which the real Mesmer is – just look for the one that is attacking more then once every 10+seconds.

Its not as if the clones do that much damage. Or maybe reduce the cool down between attacks to like 2-3seconds its VERY unlikely that the damage from them is going to kill someone and they are meant to be used as a distraction which in PvP it simply isnt most of the time

Even if I agree that clones should attack with the same speed as the mesmer, I fear it won’t happen as Mesmers could stack bleeds like no tomorrow with Sharper Images.

Yeah thats the issue, along with other conditions. An easy way around is just buff up the attack damage to compensate for the condition lose?

Sorry but this is a bad idea. Having your clones stand around doing nothing while you’re dodging and using other skills would make them even more obvious, nevermind lose a lot of effectiveness from the few clones that have on-hit effects and Sharper Images.

Didnt say anything about them standing doing nothing. If not attack when we attack, reduce the cool down on them. Having them stand around doing nothing for 10+ seconds doesnt really help at all. Even if it means removing the Conditions and increasing the damage they do.

I mean Clones are meant to disturb and confuse people. if they stand around doing nothing or attacking out of sync with one mesmer it makes it very easy to see the real one, and thats without the clones only using Auto attack….

Maybe have them use the other attacks as well? but those attacks do NOTHING just show the animations that could be VERY cool.

I do know about it. But my only problem is when I use my shatters sometimes my clones either explode where they are standing or the move like molasses towards my target. My idea is wouldn’t it be nice if they did a purple “Ride the lightning” to their target.

Now that would be great, they are easily killed going through AoE as well. Also it gets annoying when they start running to targets and then get stuck and explode. They need to create a new way of doing the shatters as the current one has to many issues, with them getting stuck when ANYTHING changes in the terrain and how they will blindly run through AoE…

Yes I totally agree with you. There are a ton of bugs, as I said half the time if feel like they just turn and look at me and shrug and explode. With my idea I realy dont think its OP cause they could still be avoided but we would not have to sit down and have tea waiting for them to get to their targets
