Guild Wars 2

From what iv’e heard and correct me if i’m wrong is that Deceptive Evasion is getting nerfed in the upcoming patch for shatter mesmers to not make any more clones after the 3 limit. Now i have a problem with this. It can prevent us from making a clone next to a person to stun/do dmg. This hurts us against every matchup. It buffs ai because now ppl can cast their phantasms without having to play skillfully and dodge without worrying about dlting a phantasm. I don’t like this and i would like to know if it is true/if you agree with me.

They talked about that change during the last Dev livestream and the response to it from the forums seemed to change their minds about it. This is pretty old news. The last mention of it was this I think.

Roy Cronacher.1576:

Thanks for the feedback guys, there were some good points brought up here. This is why we wanted to discuss these future changes so that we had time to adjust to your feedback.

We’ll be discussing this change more internally. Most likely we will make some adjustments or look at other options such as replacing clones not triggering Debilitating Dissipation so it does not impact mesmer play as much which wasn’t our intent.

From this thread:

The DE change will not be going through. This was stated in the balance patch preview notes found in the profession balance subforum.
