Did some testing in spvp with the mesmer trait Illusionary Elasticity (bouncing attacks have one additional bounce) I used clones for the staff and the trident and came up with 2 interesting problems.

Trident Clones: without trait the #1 attack hits 3 times, with trait 4 time. this is for myself and for my clones. so the trait functions on trident clones perfectly. However oddly enough trident clones casting Siren’s call (#1 skill) also seem to apply confusion where the mesmers casting of the same spell does not.

Staff Clones: without the trait winds of chaos hits twice for both mesmer and clones. With the trait winds of chaos cast by the clones will still only hit twice, winds of chaos cast by the mesmer hits 3 times though. (works on mesmer cast but not clone cast version)

So the trait works with trident clones perfectly, and does nothing for staff clones. Im not sure which way the bug is going as in should it work for both types of clones or none. I am hoping it should work for both as it is a major hole in my condition build currently. Also the trident clones have the tool tip wrong and are not displaying the confusion or as I suspect, they are not supposed to be applying confusion with every hit.

These test were performed on heavy target golems in the heart of the mists on land and in the water respectively.
