Guild Wars 2

I noticed this a lot. I never see these phantasms appear. Do you have lower health than other phants and are they dying almost instantly because they spawn so close to the target player?

The spawn of this phantasm can be blocked/“dodged” by the other player if they jump at the right time. Try jumping near the end of the Shield 4 block and it should be spawning more consistently

No. You never jump at the end of casting. Jumping will simply prevent phantasm from spawning.

It used to work…I just checked in game and now the spawn isn’t delayed at the end of a cast like before.

Yup, they changed it several patches ago.
If you jump early, the spawn won’t be delayed. If you jump late, the phantasm will simply not spawn.
