Guild Wars 2

I spent some time grinding today in both PvE and WvW. I enjoy dropping chaos storm, following up with phase retreat, and drop a phantasmal warlock right away. On several occasions, I noticed that when I summoned the warlock, it didn’t appear as a phantasm, but a clone. Also, on a few occasions, it was summoned as just a normal clone.

Any information about this? This really affected my WvW play and prevented me from doing my damage multiple times.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think theres a graphical bug if you have the particle effect limit option on (cant remeber them name) where it leaves the purple glow on phantasma out. Maybe its intended, its really annoying though >_<.

On several occasions i was in group fights and noticed clones with a vision of the mists, figured the player just had the weapon… woosh woosh, you can probably tell what happened then

Maybe you dodge rolled and interupted your warlock cast? Deceptive evasion?

Also (this happens with Ranger spirits too) if you stealth a Phantasm, it will come out of stealth looking like a clone (spirits become solid).
