Guild Wars 2

Just a quick question about something that may or may not be known.

I know clones are affected by traits (sharper images comes to mind). What else affects them? Does my weapon affect them (sigils)? Do my boons transfer? Do all of my traits affect them as well or only ones which specifically mention clones?

Any help would be appreciated. I’m considering builds such as precision + sharper images + superior sigil of water to add some help to the party in dungeons. I’m not sure if it’d be worth it if only I can proc the sigil. In any event, knowing what does and doesn’t modify clones can be very helpful when considering builds.

Thanks!

A general rule of thumb is that only sigils that modify your stats will affect your illusions. Something like Sigil of Battle which gives you Might will affect clones because it increases your Power/Condition Damage. However, something with an “on hit/crit” (i.e. Earth/Air/Water/etc.) effect will not affect illusions.
