Guild Wars 2

The trait empowered illusions boosts illusion damage by 15%. This seems to suggest that clones damage can be increased. However when using clones from greatsword I’m only seen 1’s and 0’s. Do clones from other weapon types do more damage or is the clone damage boost related to the damage they do with mind wrack?

1.15 * Cone’s 10% or so is still only 11% or less.

It’s more noticeable on phantasms.

This is a relic from Beta. During early Beta Clones used to deal quite a lot of damage, and Empowered Illusions boosted this by 30%. Then they removed Clone damage and reduced Empowered Illusions to 15%, although IMO they should’ve removed it completely as it’s now a duplicate of Phantasmal Strength: nothing wrong this technically, but it does show a lack of polish.

clones should do at least a minimum of 1 damage at all levels imo

As Embolism said, this is a just a remnant from Beta.
