So i love using tonics which my guild and WvW server population will agree to so i though i would how you the bugs i have found so far with them

First one has already been posted a week ago but i have been using it for ages and would like to share it anyway with what i have found using it.

Swiftness for you
When running with runes or traits what proc swiftness on heal in tonic form you can still use the swiftness by pressing your heal button and get a speed boost but the heal remains untouched when you exit the transformation.
Note that on if you stay in tonic form you can use this about every 15 sec
Also you wont proc swiftness on your heal outside tonic form until the 15 sec internal cool down has finished.

But what dose that have to do with Mesmers you say well not much until the second thing i have found.

Random phantoms for all
Not only can we summon copy’s of our self using weapons we cant equip or make clones wear 3 separate sets of armor at the same time we can also summon animals.

Animals for all.

To do this you ideally want to be with a friendly person from another server in WvW for full effect.
Once in downed state open up your inventory and pick your tonic of choice . Wait for your number 3 skill " Phantasmal Rogue " to come off cool down then summon the phantom. As the phantom takes the appearance of you it will also become the tonic you have transformed into.
Note that it wont do any damage when you are transformed so it is not OP at all ( though you do get +10 stats to randomness ). Some of the tonics animations bug out but you can still get some very good/interesting affects going as shown by the second picture.

Anyway hope you enjoy this bit of information and look forward to seeing it used against me one day.
