Q:

I was wondering about the Empowered Illusions trait on a Phantasmal Warden with the Warden’s Focus trait. Does it actually improve the damage of a reflected projectile from a Phantasmal Warden by 15%?

A:

Last time I checked (~1yr+ ago) it was,

Projectiles reflected by Warden are considered Wardens and use Phantasm multipliers only, ie Empowered Illusions and Phantasmal Strength. Runes/sigil/potion multipliers are ignored.

Projectiles reflected with Curtain/Feedback are considered mesmers and use mesmer multipliers, ie Harmonious Mantra and Compounding Power as well the multipliers from gear/sigils/food.

I think the projectiles reflected by warden count the mesmer as their source (so your % boosts, not your illusions).

Not 100% sure but I think I saw it explained in one of the dnt guides

I’d say it’s otherwise, that 15% or 30% buff for phantasms affects wardens reflected projectiles. But to truly know wich is the truth, there is just one save source that can tell us how it really works!

“turns around and looks at ANet” … and this source is …

FRYFOX! :> “sits down and waits for him to appear” :>
