Guild Wars 2

On my Mesmer, I decided to unequip all my armor and weapons and see if I could outdo a basic level 80 bog skale’s health regeneration using only my clone production abilities and shatters.

It didn’t go particularly well, since:
1) Mirror Images produces no clones. I assume it still stunbreaks, as it displaces my character slightly still.
2) Decoy produces no clones, but does proc the stealth effect.
3) Guess how many clones Deceptive Evasion produces? None.

Phantasm utility skills still work, but as the two that exist don’t have great DPS, I had to run in fear from the terrifying skale opponent.

Clearly this bug is of utmost importance, and is highly necessary to fix the Pugalist Mesmer build.

(no actually it’s just hilarious)

There are a few posts on this, I recently started another thread similar to yours, but it was regarding if a Mesmer is holding an item, such as a reflection crystal vs the maw, no skill, or dodge, that would produce clones works.

This has been a problem since launch, and has not been addressed at all.

Now, it is said the upcoming patch will “make it even better!!” if you have 3 clones active, and dodge, it wont replace one with a new one… This is huge hit on Mesmer clone builds as the “death” of one is good (for some trait builds) and the fact that though I may have 3 alive, I may be dodging to loose agro on my new clone….

Seems Warriors with great swords were complaining about our clones (as broken as they are) so they will address that, and keep the Mesmer as broken as they have been for ages.
