Guild Wars 2

Anyone else notice this? My clones are not holding my character’s second hand weapon (focus, torch, pistol, sword). Instead they just make a fist. I posted it on the bug forum, but wanted to see if any other mesmers were noticing this issue or if it was just on my end. Makes it really easy to spot the true mesmer in WvW. Hope they fix it soon.

I noticed it too. Was actually just about to make the same topic.

Its kinda annoying as its a dead giveaway to any half decent player

It’s been this way since beta. ArenaNet is aware of it but hasn’t gotten around to fixing it. It’s sort of like how in beta they promised to allow us to put 2 sigils on 2hand weapons so they are equal to wielding two 1hand weapons (which allows you 2 take 2 sigils for that set) … but haven’t done that either.

Gahh… that’s annoying. I really hoped this would be a quick fix in the next update kinda thing. Hopefully they’ll fix our checkerboard shatters AND this in the next patch.

Checkerboard shatters might be fixed in the next patch….this issue won’t. It’s been around for a very long time, and I don’t recall anet even saying that they would ever fix it.

I don’t expect them to fix it either, since the largest complaint about mesmers is figuring out which one is the real one. Thus they aren’t going to take away a tool from the noobs and make it even more difficult on them. It is just a fact of life we will have to live with.

Yeah this gets annoying in pvp, especially if you are using a really obvious off hand weapon (say a torch in a dark area) Dead giveaway about which is the real one. But… we’ll live :P

Not only did I notice this, but there are other small difference that if you know what to look for it makes finding the real mesmer easy as pie even if they don’t use dual x.
