Guild Wars 2

mimic doesnt absorb the first projectile/misslie. First projectile will hit u and u can mimic it, the rest of projectiles coming at u during that 4 sec bubble will refelct missilies though. Dont know if its a bug or wrong at the description.

Thats not a bug, thats exactly how mimic works.
Agree with you the description is pretty vague though.

To add to your post, mimic will also block all other blockable attacks . When I last played months ago, mimic block will proc block tratits such as that retal trait.

Yup, dont forget the block, Pyroatheist has an entire build based in mimic block.

Actually we don’t know if it’s a bug or a tooltip mistake. There are other bugs, that have been here since release, like phantasmal haste didn’t work until last patch. It’s pretty possible that you should be able to absorb the first attack.

Btw Mimic ONLY blocks if it has absorbed … sry I mean “if you have been hit” by a projectile. After that everything is blocked and reflected til 4 sec dura.
