Q:
does %crit dmg work on illusions??
A:
As far as I know yes. The only stats that don’t apply to the illusions are boon/cond duration and I’m not sure about healing power. The rest should apply.
Healing power works, insofar as the only healing phantasms provide is aoe regen pulses.
sweet thanks yall i apreciate it

Actually there’s a fairly extensive thread on GW2Guru about this, and it has been shown (unless they changed something) that %crit dmg does NOT affect clones or phantasms.

Can you dig that thread up? Because that is not at all what the wiki states.

Trident Clones heal when their SC bounce to allies (another relic of Beta: seriously, why are Anet’s fixes always half-baked?), but the amount is so miniscule it makes no difference.
Just tested this in the mists, it does work for Illusionary Swordsman at least.
My method was
1. +5% crit sigils on two steady swords and soldier amulet with no traits at all vs.
2. +5% crit sigils on two steady swords and berserker amulet with full dueling (=crit damage) traits.
Even with a very small sample size, the disparity between no crit damage and full crit damage was huge enough (~1800 vs. ~2600) as to not be attributed to random fluctuations.

Here’s the thread. Not sure if anything’s changed since then.
