Anything that strafes or moves backwards. But we know this too. Sneaky mesmers will sometimes stand around doing nothing for a few seconds to get their bearings straight and confuse enemies.

^ All of that stuff helps, but the easiest method is to just turn off NPC names. If you mouse over or select a clone you’ll see the name, but if you see a name otherwise you know it’s the Mesmer.

Also, when we’re downed, we are the one with the big red skull arrow over our head.

Thank you, all of you for the help. My game play has been suffering with a slinged arm and looking down at the keys and then back up has been real confusing at times with the clones. I will have to try the name trick. Also does the calling a target work in WvW tried the other night although may have hit the key combo wrong as I am not used to typing one handed.

Thanks again!

You have to be in a group to call targets.

Thank you! That would explain it

Wait, for real? That is soooooo lame. That kind of explains why some people can spot me without much effort. Are there plans to remedy this on ANet’s part or is this working as intended?
