Guild Wars 2

Quick question. Trying out a new build, and I noticed that some traits say in the description that they take effect when clones are shattered, and others when the clones are “killed”. My question is, when we shatter our clones, does that count as them being killed for the purposes of the trait? Or does the trait effect only proc when they are killed by foes? As in “Clones apply a random condition to foes when they are killed”. Thanks!

It does trigger on:

• killed by damage
• replaced by another illusion
• target dead (see post below)

It does NOT trigger on:

• shatter

[ Edit ]
see below

Nretep.2564:

It does trigger on:

• killed by damage
• replaced by another illusion

It does NOT trigger on:

• target dead (75% sure here)
• shatter

it does trigger if the target dies

^
I remembered something like “it triggers more often than it does not”, but I couldn’t convince myself, that it was when their target died.

Well, edited my post now.

Thanks for the info!

I am curious tho if you send yer clones to shatter at a target and while they are running to them, they are killed by AOE or something, does the “on kill trait” still proc?

You answered your own question. It’s really a matter of whether there is any enemies near the clone to apply the effect.
