Guild Wars 2

According to wiki the “Phantasms can be affected by boons”. I did some testing and it seems that phantasms are not affected by the might stacks that you drop on them directly. However, if the owner has any might stacks then phantasms will inherit that boost in their owner’s power.

Apologies if this was already generally known. I just found this out for myself while min/maxing my phantasm build. Also, I didn’t test if Fury/Protection work the same way. Would be glad if someone can chip in if they know the answer.

Yes, that’s cause illusions shares all your base stats except vitality, which variates for every phantasm.
The stats shared are: Power, precision, critical damage, toughness, condition damage, condition duration, healing power and boon duration.

Fury does not affect illusions cause it increases your critical chance, not your precision, so it’s not a base stat and that’s why there’s a trait that gives phantasms fury.

The other boons don’t affect them since phantasms are not an extension of you. They are an external AI that acts as a “pet”, like necros minions or pets from rangers.

The problem about their might not being effective is solved with the fact that those stacks of might doesn’t affect you. As your power does not increase, phantasms neither receive the might increase. It has no sense, but it’s not a bug xd
