Guild Wars 2

Since the specializations patch that made Illusionary Persona baseline, and that shatters seem to max out at 3 clones. does that mean shattering 3 clones is just as effective kittentering 2 inc yourself?

LordMazdamundi.2147:

So mind wracking with 3 clones out would do 3 clones worth of damage but in 4 instances? (1 at each clone and 1 on you)?

Exactly.

wow why was the 2nd ‘shattering’ censored

For cry of frustration, diversion, distortion, and continuum shift, yes.

For mind wrack, no. 2 clones + IP is stronger than 3 clones no IP.

I don’t think the question is 2 clones + IP = 3 clones no IP. I think the questions is: 2 clones + IP = 3 clones + IP (since it seems to cap at 3). And the answer is no. Because of IP, 3 clones count as 4 clones (if you are yourself close enough to the target). So 4 clones is stronger than 3.

Yet, you have to remember that mind wrack is not linear in intensity with the number of clones. So at the end, a 1 clone shatter is not that much weaker than a 2 or 3 clone shatter. Here are the coefs:

• 0 clone: 1.15
• 1 clone: 2.3
• 2 clones: 2.67
• 3 clones: 3.08

So mind wracking with 3 clones out would do 3 clones worth of damage but in 4 instances? (1 at each clone and 1 on you)?

Thanks for the help clearing that up
