Guild Wars 2

Do dodge clones appear even when there is no enemy in the vicinity?
If they do, how long do they last?

They don’t appear if you’re not in combat.
If you’re in combat with no enemy around, they just stand there and explode after some while (5s ?)

That seems pretty accurate.

Exept they arent bound to the closest enemy, theyre bound to the closest attackable object.
Like a glass panel in skyhammer that can shatter, you can auto attack with a sword to get in combat, and you can create clones on it too, but they just wont attack it :P. They also wont dissapear automatically :o.

Same goes for the things that make electric lines in the rata sum fractal, or catching fire in the cliffside fractal.

One time i made a clone, equiped other gear, made another clone, equiped another set again, made a clone, and redyed my last set to make another clone :D.

deceptive evasion clones go for the nearest hostile

As has been said: they go for the closest attackable, not hostile. What mesmer never pulled angry moas or boars in a fight just by dodging ? ^^’

Phantasm Bunker Mesmers shouldn’t use DE. And that’s quite a common build nowadays.

I should put a kittening “joke” label…
