Guild Wars 2

Hi folks! I was curious if anyone had tested out the synergy between these two traits? Does the Phantasmal Defender with Retaliation reflect some of the damage it absorbs from you back to the source? I tried doing a search around, but couldn’t find an answer to this particular question. I’m currently at work so I’m unable to test this for myself. Thanks!

Yes, it does. Retaliation on the iDefender will proc when it receives transferred damage from allies it protects.

So I was playing around with these traits and think I may have found a bug. Regular phantasms get 6 seconds of retaliation from Persisting Images, but the Defender created by Mental Defense only get 3 seconds. Is this an intended result or an error?

Tested it, I don’t see this bug. Any advice on recreation, or might you retest it yourself?

Yes, just tried it again with the same results. I am using the illusory riposte from sword off hand as my block to create the Defender and have been testing in on grub’s underneath the great tree in Verdant Brink.
