So with the combat log revamp we can finally see the precise damage minions, including illusions can do, yay! But Phantasm attacks aren’t identified as a selectable attack for damage, and instead have unique names for what they do (which I believe are the beta names? So this might be changed later). It makes it a little confusing to parse at first (esp if you haven’t been attacked by enough Mesmers in PvP modes to have caught on), so I did some quick runs and this is what each Phantasm’s attack is called in the combat log:

Berzerker (greatsword) – Imagined Burden
Swordsman (sword) – Illusionary Sword Attack
Warden (focus) – Whirling Defense
Warlock (staff) – Mage Strike
Duelist (pistol) – Illusionary Unload
Mage (torch) – Backfire
Whaler (trident) – Whaler’s Volley
Mariner (spear) – Mariner’s Frenzy

I believe these are also the names shown when you get hit by their attacks, but if anyone can confirm if that’s been updated that’d be great! There is no distinction between your auto-attack/condis and clones auto-attack in the combat log.

Mage (torch) – Backfire makes me weep … I want my Gw1 Backfire, not that crap Mage is.
