Guild Wars 2

If he’s already started shooting before you turned invisible then even if you turn invisible the shots will continue to hit you. You have to turn invisible before the phantasm begins the skill at all and considering that he’ll start 1/4th of a second after being summoned…good luck with that.

It’s not any different from any other unload type skill.

If they start it before you cloak, you’ll get hit by the entire skill.

That being said…they die in like one hit. the only reason that he can summon multiples of them and have them all chase you is if you aren’t killing them.

Geoski.1407:

Yes i understand that’s how it works at this moment, but I’m wondering if anyone agrees with this concept of phantasms having the special ability to pound you no matter what u do, and last for quite a long time following you through invis and teleports. It seems like a polar opposite counter to what some mesmers can choose as their playing style.

Binding blades to invis targets is one thing, but to have all your dps focused on phantasms, and for phantasms to obliterate their target during invis, no other class can do that.

its not a phantasm specific thing. all classes and skills with a channeled attack will continue to hit stealthed enemies if you start the channel before they stealth.

its fine, its one of the few ways to kill stealthed enemies.
