Guild Wars 2

If I use, say gunner clone, with a gun that has the flame blast AoE. Will the shots from the gunner trigger the AoE?

No. Clones attacking won’t trigger any Sigil effects.

IIRC, clones and phantasms only interact with two things:

• the raw stats of the Mesmer
• traits that specifically mention illusions

Sigils only function on the mesmer itself, not it’s illusions.

This used to be the case, but then they nerfed it.
It’s been over a year. I remember phantasms triggering sigil of fire over and over… It was nice.

I have no memory of that whatsoever, so I’m pretty sure that was never a thing.

The only similar thing that used to occur was a bug having to do with runes (and maybe sigils?) that came baked into armor pieces. If you had a full set of TA armor, people would get feared by attacking your illusions. This was due to a bug where illusions inherited the baked-in runes of TA armor (nightmare runes) for some reason.

Or they’re mis remembering combo fishers at 100% on duelists in the past

I remember the glorious days when you can proc fear with illusions, that’s what I call mesmerize

If I recall correctly you can also summon golem hoards with it? Been a while, or its just me and guildie joking back then?

Yep they used to trigger sigil of air and fire. The best part was, they had their own individual cool down. I remember first noticing it and thinking I was crazy. So I went to the old dummies in lions arch and spawned up some clones and didn’t attack anything myself… I watched each clone proc their own individual sigil.
