“Illusions derive their precision, power, condition damage, critical damage, armor, and healing directly from the mesmer’s attributes. Illusions do not gain any benefit from the mesmer’s vitality, condition duration or boon duration.”
p.s. armor = defense + toughness
1, 3: "They are neither affected by the damage of the mesmer’s equipped weapon nor by any of the various non-stat effects of weapon sigils or armor runes. "

“Area of effect heals and boons now prioritize players over minions and NPCs. "
As for conditions, I think it is still affecting random players/minions/npcs with no priorities.
