Staff clones applying fear?
I have never had this happen or heard of it happening. Do you have the ability to get some video footage and post your complete build so we can get an idea of why this might be happening?
I was wondering which clones were doing it, but yes i noticed it a few times today

which if you don’t know only should apply burning, bleeding, and poison
Winds of Chaos applies Bleeding, Burning, and Vulnerability :-p

Right… oops XD But my point still stands!
Indeed. However, I just went and tested it myself and I have killed five dudes so far with no with only Winds of Chaos and I did not see one fear effect :/
i am trying to get a screenie right now
There! almost missed it, it’s only a one second fear, and my attacks don’t seem to do this, only the clones. And it doesn’t seem to happen very often.
Stealth buff, eh? Surprising … that doesn’t happen much.

It’s gotta be something else about your character. I have been playing since you mentioned this thread and I have not seen it once.
yep its def the staff clones, just tested it on a mob without attacking it myself.

How curious :p
Do you have full nightmare runes?
Its probably when you attack low level mobs such as cows in queensdale. They don’t apply fear
wearing 4p perplex myself and attacking mobs in wvw, fear doesn’t happen on every single mob but its def happening.

Just got on my lvl 19 Mesmer and spawned 3 staff clones; killed over a dozen mobs and haven’t seen a single Fear proc. Could it be a bug with the 4-rune-bonus for the Rune of Perplexity incorrectly proccing Fear when our Clones attack rather than or in addition to the confusion that we apply on hit?

I’ve been running Perplexity since the patch and I’ve yet to see Fear, so I doubt it’s the runes in a of themselves. However, it could be a combo of the runes and something else. Could those affected by this please post their builds?
Ok, new question. You don’t appear to be wearing TA armor. Did you get your armor set fully from TA and then transmute it to something else +put in new runes?

I’m wearing Whispers armor with TA stats and runes of the mesmer, but I transmuted it like a year ago lol and it’s not from me being hit. Also, it’s not a problem with the rune of perplexity, cause i don’t have those yet.

It might be that. We have a mesmer in our guild who transmuted/re-runed the CoE gear a loooooong time ago, and she still summons a golem every so often. It’s totally random.
But isnt the nightmare runes fear when you get hit?
Can you try using different clones and see if they apply fear? I remember readif a thread months ago where illusions benefitted from items like menhlo’s coat, strange stuff xD.

Well, I can’t produce this bug.
We’ll need more infos to do so.
- Where have you spent your traits?
- What Sigil have you equip on your staff?
- Which runes?

I thought I was seeing things but as of recent I’ve been noticing that my staff clones are applying fear every so often as well.
I don’t have any runes that would apply fear on hit, crit, etc.
Quick delete this thread before Anet notices!!

Notices what? We do not even know what is causing the bug because it is not related to clones by themselves. Something else is causing it.
hmmm I just tried it with different armor, and it’s not proccing fear. Moaning Marv and Phokus, are you wearing Transmuted TA armor, or TA armor with different runes like I am? as a side note, while wearing my transmuted TA armor and using my 1h sword clones, fear does not seem to apply.

Ahah, so here’s the deal. When you use an armor set that originally had runes come with it, like any of the dungeon sets, those runes seem to be somehow hardcoded into the armor. Your clones will get some of the bonuses of the original armor set, but not yourself. In this case, your clones are displaying the on-being-hit fear proc.

Eureka!
I cant wait for someone to prove you wrong.
Im actually really interested in knowing if this applies to all dungeon armor, and maybe <name>‘s armor aswell (like menlho’s coat).
I wonder if they give the stats from runes aswell… And what about other player summons proccing runes :O. (Ranger pet, minions, spirit weapons etc)
Some months ago there was a thread about phantasms creating golems :p.

I’m wearing WvW PVT armor (that don’t come with runes) and I’m able to get Fears off via clones.

Now that is odd…
It’s rare when it goes off and I can’t really explain it.
