Guild Wars 2

Persisting Images: Phantasms have 20% increased health and spawn with 5sec retaliation.
Protected Phantasms: Phantasms gain 1sec distortion briefly upon creation

This two are almost doing the same thing. I actual fact, PI is better than PP. Your phantasm spawn with more health and retaliation for 5 seconds which am guessing is also 5 second of immunity, while PP is only 1 second of immunity.

So why do we still need PP?

This needs to be changed or merge PI and PP together and give us a new minor trait where PP should be.

Am i missing something here?

Ok got you.

But still why don’t they just merge the two minor traits together and give us something else where PP is.

No, it’s not immunity -.-

It is a boon damaging everyone who attacks it. Not reflecting damage, not preventing damage, just dealing a static amount of damage to the attacker.
