Guild Wars 2

We all know about the incoming sword clone porting to the target rather than the glitched out running they used to do. Was there any notes about Deceptive Evasion and the sword clone? Will they remain the glitched and buggy original clone, with the kitten pathing problems? Dunno if this was answered before…sorry if it was!

I’m not quite sure what you mean, I may misunderstand your question? Maybe because a lot of my dodged clones end up being shatter fodder, but the pathing on doge roll clones is the same as any other AI.

The problem with I-leap’s pathing is that the clone would’t be close enough to the target or “leap” at them due to terrain. since it spawns on the target simular to that of Iwarden, IZerker, and Mirror blade’s clone, this removes more of the terrain issues.

If you are asking “will deceptive evasion spawn a clone on the target?” No. I’m pretty sure it wont and if they did, I’m sure they’d have mentioned.

Wow DE porting a clone to target, yes plz. Can you imagine the single target distance clone spam for world bosses/dungeons. Shatter more viable for pve, so many options with a change like that. Where do I sign up.

One of the best ways to mitigate backstabs from thieves is to dodge and summon a clone where you just were. Backstab hits the clone, and the thief is now revealed.

Deceptive evasion is better off as it is, by summoning a clone at your dodge position.

I apologize for using my imagination.

Won’t work anymore as now backstab gets up to 2 targets.
Another mesmer hidden buff maybe

The change is only on the auto attack. Backstab will still hit only one target.

The reason the clone teleports to target is because of the skill 3 – the current dodge clones don’t leap to the target because that is caused by the skill 3. I don’t know why people are even discussing this like it would happen.
