Guild Wars 2

What if shattered clones were invulnerable once the shatter button was pressed? The moment of shatter itself could be dodged, and the range of clone movement before expiring remain the same, but the clones wont take damage on their way to their target.

Would this be OP? Would this remedy mesmers in large scale fights gameplay?

What if it was a trait choice?

yeah that would be a great thing in wvw as most of the clones never reach their target so we dont get the aoe dmg or the stuff u get from traited shatters. making them invulnerable after we press f1-f4 would be great

Though to be fair, that only exabbarates the issue that our general class mechanic (summon Clones → rely on Clones for defence → kill Clones for damage/interrupts) isn’t strong or integral enough.

As in, clones don’t provide us with enough defence, we have too much without them, they are too easy to kill, shatters are too weak and our offence too strong outside of it.

Not something you can easily change without major reworks really, although I’d love it if the main issues was really to find me between the clones (and I’d be weak once found if I cannot hide again).

I don’t know that mutch about programming but maybe this would cause us to be invul after shattering with illusionary persona (would be too mighty).

Although i think they’d manage to fix this^^
