I was testing out Illusionary Counter and riposte with mental defense and noticed sometimes I would get 2 illusions (one defender and one clone), or 1 illusion (sometimes defender, sometimes clone), or none. I might have gotten 3 with one block also (might have been from scepter, but as weird as this skill is working, who knows!)

Has anyone else noticed this?

I’ve run this trait almost exclusively since the patch hit and every time I block with illusionary counter I get the one clone and an iDefender (if off recharge). On that point, you have to keep the internal iDefender recharge in mind. It’s affected both by persistence of memory and illusionist’s celerity. Also you should never see three illusions on block but always at least one.

illusionary reposte is the skill used when no illusion would spawn. Does that skill shares a clone recharge with Illusionary Counter, as if they are using the same clone? As, I’ve seen no clone spawn a few times.

I keep editing this as I keep seeing new things: I’m not seeing the ill. Riposte illusion appear at all. I only see iDefender appear. when iDefender is on cooldown, no illusion appears.

also, i’m not using fencers finesse. Using Scepter/Sword.

Edit: The issue is ill. Riposte doesn’t create an illusion if you have scepter main hand. I’ve confirmed this. Is this working as intended? An issue before the big update?

Scepter/ sword : when blocking with the sword (Scepter main hand, sword second) no illusion appears. According to the description an illusion should appear if a successful. Block is executed. I had someone (I think toxic) watch me to make sure my eyes were seeing no illusion. Toxic confirmed (I think toxic posts here). Is this an old issue? Or new
