I can confirm experiencing this exact problem in WvW as well. This is a huge bug because it takes away a major core of the mesmer’s repertoire during combat – e.g., using clones to distract enemies.

I hope this, along with the other bugs introduced by this patch is fixed soon.

Can confirm this as well. I wonder what exactly it was that they were fixing that would cause this in the first place.

if we could get some feedback from Anet to let us know

Yep, definitely broken. Lets make this post stay at the top until the masters of mmo quality assurance testing manage to notice they broke us…again.

Seriously? Ugh So what would be the point of using a staff clone now? seriously. HOW DO THEY MANAGE TO MESS THIS UP? Did they some how confuse themselves with torch fix and clone visual.. Also… When the kitten am i going o have trident clones with weapons… And i cant hit kitten with the spear anymore.

Now you know how rangers feel with a dead pet, doesn’t feel good does it?

edit: i can’t spell, my sarcasm is now useless

Ah, they’ll update the patch notes soon.

Mesmer clones brought into a more balanced state for WvW play.

Excuse me? CLONE. An identical copy of another person… Clones use to do significant damage but that was nerfed long ago… Clones have NEVER carried the players off hand weapon and clones attack rate has ALWAYS been slower… These alone have been infuriating for mesmers… Our underwater clones don’t have tridents if they spawn… This new bug is a huge disadvantage for mesmers which is crippling when fighting any player that is halfway competent… I am sorry this has to be a bug.

Still nothing from Anet..

We need some info they at least know there is a bug

Everyone continuously post in this bug especially those that are big in W3… This is a huge disadvantage for us making clones useless as distractions to any player with half a brain seeing as staves are usually taller than the character model… Sooo lame.

it’s not just staves or the greatsword, the bug affects all weapons combos for clones/phantasms in WvW – even illusionary warden doesn’t have its axes in hand.

This bug basically has forced me to retire my mesmer from WvW participation.

On top of that my Phantasmal Duelist no longer makes any sound.

Confirmed. Please fix this soon arenanet.

Any word yet on this fix?

Easy fix…stop carrying weapons. It’s a little slower summoning clones, but this is obviously what ArenaNet intended. If you have nothing in your hands, the clones will look just like you.

/facepalm

Hopefully a fix comes soon.

To cause conditions and boons ? They dont spawn with weapons but they still attack as normal as seen here…..

This is a good thing.

The clones still work, they just aren’t as deceptive. Considering that most players have learned to just turn off NPC names in PvP it isn’t exactly that much more of a disadvantage.

I wonder if It could be a side effect of their anti-culling efforts?

Yea, because we never experienced what it was like to have a mechanic reliant on easily killable pets before this bug…

Can we at least find out if this is just a bug or it’s an intended change?? And has a dev even responded yet to what is a pretty big bug? I noticed they jumped on prestige being glitched but no word on this? I really, really hope it’s not intended because bad players can’t spot the real Mesmer…

Still no update from Devs on this

My duelist fire’s with his hands and no sound fix it

I have made a post in the bug forums with regards to our bugs this patch. Please go and take a look at it.

Added my bump to it Pyro thanks for posting that. Here’s to hoping we don’t have to go another month with even more broken abilities.

Edit: thanks for the responses!

Hi everyone,

As Jason King explained in this thread, the team is aware of the issue and working on it.

Thanks for your contribution

Thank you for the acknowledgement.

Wait you linked us to a thread being closed..

This is not helping

Nah, you forget that Rangers DPS is divided among themselves and their pet.

Mesmers don’t get a huge damage reduction when they can’t poo out clones 24/7.

Invalid. Poo-able clones =/= singular pet that when dead, reduces your total damage output 30%+, making you ~30% weaker than all other classes.
