Guild Wars 2

I use invisibility to give myself a breather fairly often in PvE with my Mesmer. This doesn’t work well when up against foes with ranged abilities. Say they have a ranged attack that takes a couple of seconds to complete, I would then often make myself invisible, leaving a clone to be victimized in my stead, and circle the enemy to attack from behind. However, I’ve noticed that even though I’m invisible, the enemy will circle in place so that it faces me and still hit me with the ranged attack – even though I might at this point be at a completely different spot, well away from my clone.

Shouldn’t invisibility mean that their ranged attack fail or, even better in my opinion, transfer to my clone?

No, it works like this because of balance issues
