Guild Wars 2

This is bugging me….

I was fighting a thief in WvW as a Mesmer and as I downed him a thief clone appeared( must have been Ambush trap) but he was firing bolt at me, looks same as what I was firing on my scepter, ether bolt.

Is there a simple explanation why the clone is firing bolt instead of using knives?

And no it wasn’t a Mesmer I was fighting. I do have a video showing this but if its a simple explanation then no point uploading it.

Rune of Earth I believe. He reflected your scepter attack that creates a clone and because he reflected it he created a clone of himself.

It isn’t a clone, it is a thief ally:

Ambush
½ 35
Trap. Set a trap that, when triggered, calls in a thief that attacks nearby foes for twenty seconds.

Thieves that you call can either use daggers or pistol. So they aren’t always melee.

Lux.7169:

Rune of Earth I believe. He reflected your scepter attack that creates a clone and because he reflected it he created a clone of himself.

Ah thx that’s explains it exactly!
