DE clones need to target your target.

To be worthy of a grandmaster trait DE clones need to actually target your target not the closest thing when you dodge.

The trait is unreliable for shatters unless your in melee range. Yet another reason mesmer can not get away from using MH sword!

In a group fight if I dodge with a staff twice, and then hit shatter, with the same guy targeted the whole time, I have NO CONTROL over what is about to happen, clones run off in all directions to explode on whatever the kitten they feel like. Sorry the guy currently melting your face off, who would have died to your shatter is fine thanks to a ranger pet humping your leg and a thief who happened to be porting around when you dodged…

My dream would be all summon skills attack your current target when activated, and all shatter skills target your current target when activated. Why is mesmer still constantly fighting against their own mechanics?

Because in the instance you want to use diversion on two or more people you can. And the instance you want to summon a phantasm to attack something while you attack something else you can.

Ok so that’s one case for not wanting Diversion to shatter all your illusions on your current target.

Nothing I said would prevent phantasms attacking the target they were summoned to attack.

I still think DE clones should attack your current target instead of the closest target and Mind Wrack and Cry of Frustration should shatter all your illusions on your current target.
