Phantasms Should Use Legendaries
I agree. You don’t have warriors enjoyment of a legendary limited by the type of weapon skill they’re using, why should mesmer?

Would be pretty cool

I disagree. Phantasms are not clones and are not meant to mimic everything about your character. Clones are meant to be mirror images, phantasms are their own thing. It makes more sense to have phantasms wielding their own specific weapon than copying the Mesmer. It would also remove the purple mist effect from the weapons, since the weapon itself is what applies the mist effect (phantasms use the mist weapons specifically). It would make the phantasms look a bit off, IMO.
It wouldn’t even really be feasible for all phantasms to do this either. There are a number of phantasms that don’t use the same weapon as the type of weapon they’re created from (Warden uses axes and not a focus, Warlock uses a scepter and not a staff, Whaler uses a speargun and not a trident). Not to mention the Defender and Disenchanter which aren’t even weapon-based at all but utilities.
the greatsword legendaries should affect the lightning a little bit like have opposing lightning opposite of the standard to give it more oomph imo
hell no quip is most anoying legendary in game ur enemy will make sueside if you come with it probably and so would you.

i don’t think the color purple or a keychain on a clown gun will make me wanna end my existence and it’s really over-reacting and childish to make that extreme obvious unlikely comparison.

Legendaries are legendaries, who cares?
They should show for phantasms.
Mesmers barely have any attacks to show the effects off, getting a quip is a complete waste on a mesmer.
And who cares if phantasmal warden would adopt the legendary focus instead of axes, it would be fantastic.
Legendary swordsman could have lightning effects every time it’s leaping too.
Doesn’t make much sense to me. Clones – which are supposed to copy our looks – already show Legendaries. Phantasms – which are not supposed to copy our looks – don’t.
Seems… intended to me? Also makes sense. I mean, Phantasms don’t copy looks and that’s ok, they’re easy to identify with their weapons. If they start changing weapons and – by virtue of sharing the legendary – blending in with the Mesmer, they’re less easy to identify.

This is the thing i hate about the mesmer community.. Yes, it is not a great idea and i agree that the way it is now is a lot better, but seriously show respect! Uhg..its disgusting to see the way some of you reply..

But how would you show Legendaries on iWarden and iDefender? Since they use weapons Mesmers don’t have access to. And what about weapons (off-hands) that Mesmers use but phantasms don’t? Would suck for people who have Rodgort and Minstrel wouldn’t it?
If nothing else let the clones show off hands.

Now that suggestion I could totally get behind. Clones should have offhand weapons so that they’re true copies of the Mesmer, even if they never actually use them.

Just make the phantasm use the legendary, is it really that big of a deal if Warden is spinning around dual wielding Minstrels slinging notes everywhere as opposed to a basikittentle axe? Hell it makes more sense for a Minstrel barrier to be reflecting projectiles instead of axes.
iMage would just have a rodgort in it’s hand and would make it’s attack bolt fiery.
The difference between clones having legendaries and phantasms is the way phantasms attack like iZerker and iWarden.
Quip would actually be noticed on a Mesmer too, Quip iDuelist? Yes please.
Sure iDefender/iDisenchanter wouldn’t change because they’re not tied to weapons, our normal Phantasms are, they’re weapon attacks, and legendary weapons change our weapon attacks, thus Phantasms should have the effects of our legendaries.

If you have a legendary, your phant should use the legendary I agree. mes is kind of cheated out of certain effects, and in some cases it wouldn’t even show on a clone.
Pistol for example even if you make a clone it wont hold it in it’s hand… and you only get the sound effect on a 25 sec base c/d… kinda a lame, not to mention wasteful.
GS the beam is kind of cool until about 6 inches off your GS and returns to being purple -_- and the only swing is on a long c/d.
to the argument of them not being clones… “who cares?” phants have been having a bug lately where they just spawn without the purple glow, and I think it’s obvious when the name is different and the animation is one your character never uses for the sake of PvP. So I don’t think it’s a big deal really, and would also be a proper nod to having a legendary on a mes.
