Guild Wars 2

so i was dueling with a mesmer friend, and my warrior cloned himself just like a mesmer, we saw that the shield reflect from the warrior and the mesmer scepter on the 3 hit, if reflected the attack becomes from the warrior and it makes clone of the warrior. what do you think about this? XD

THAT IS AWESOME! PLEASE DON’T FIX THIS ANET.

OP are you Jon Peters?

I don’t think this should be considered broken, and therefore hopefully wont be fixed! Not only does this finally give defensive or melee players something to FINALLY counter mass clones with, it also finally gives a potential risk to spamming clones. When I fight a mesmer that keeps cloning, I feel like there is not much that can be done… Also, when you think about it in relation to how things SHOULD work if this particular magic was reflected in a real scenario, and showing the enemy player as the clone lets them know that it is NOT an ally minion.

Actually this was brought up months ago elsewhere. If I remember correctly reflect doesn’t just reflect the projectile but its properties and effects also. That is if the projectile causes poison so will the reflected one, if it causes immobilize so will the reflected one, etc. If I am not incorrect this is working as intended when it produces the clone if the intended target.

Is that a recent photo? Cause I almost think I saw that same photo 7 months ago could be paranoid though.

Yeah its been posted before on engie forums if I remember correctly. It works if you can reflect it back somehow

AFAIK this is normal for all reflected projectiles (not cloning, just carrying over their effects) and pretty much the point of reflecting things.

I would like to chime in by saying if you reflect a Pull , the enemy will be pulled to you instead. It use to be if you reflected an ele’s magnetic grasp you would be pulled to them but they changed that skill.

Either way using reflect at appropriate times can be very fun.

I really lolled @ this :P

I’ve seen this happen once before, I never understood what caused it though. Now that I know I’m gonna try to reproduce this as much as humanly possible.
