Guild Wars 2

As simply asked in the title, I’m wondering what stats get used by illusions. I was told by a few that my clones/phantasms aren’t effected by my Condition Damage. Others say it is.

Anyone know exactly which stats are and aren’t going to effect my illusions?

Applies:

• Power
• Precision
• Ferocity
• Condition Damage
• Condition Duration
• Boon Duration
• Toughness
• Healing Power

Doesn’t apply:

• Accuracy
• Critical Damage
• Vitality

I have also noticed while playing with torch that Mage confusion duration isn’t as long as I was expecting it so there may be a bug where Confusion Duration or even some Condition Duration from some sources doesn’t get applied to phantasms. Will need to spend some time tracking that down.

Yeah there have been random condition duration bugs related to all illusions that have kinda plagued our class since the beginning. I think along the way some have been fixed but the last time I verified any of it was quite a few patches ago and who knows what else may have been broken since then.

Almost right frifox.

Might on the mesmer applies to illusions. Might on the illusions does nothing.

Fury on the illusions applies properly to the illusions. Fury on the mesmer does nothing for illusions.

The might behavior is correct as you say but Fury affecting illusions is new to me. Afaik when I tried a year ago or so it didn’t. Of course I may have simply remembered my tests incorrectly, it really has been quite a while, but I’ll double check it tonight to be sure.

The trait phantasmal fury wouldn’t function if fury on illusions didn’t work.

Fury can also be applied to illusions via rune effects (altruism/pack) and can be shared with them via signet of inspiration.

Something else I’ve noticed is that illusions can acquire might via the same mentioned mechanisms, though I presume is ignored since illusions naturally inherit the power and condition damage increases you personally receive via might.

I guess my memory failed me. Fury applied to phantasms does affect their crit chance.
