Guild Wars 2

When using Mirror blade the summoned clone does zero or very little damage. Clones on dodge do no damage either. Phantasmal Berserker works correctly. Compared with a friend with same stats/build on same enemies. His clones were doing correct damage. Other Mesmer characters (on the same account with different builds but still using Greatsword) have the same problem. Heeeeeeeelllp!

Clones (the ones that look like you) don’t do damage, phantasms (the purple ghosty ones) do. Clones are only meant to distract or confuse.

Quoted from the wiki:
" A clone’s basic attack is the same as the caster’s first weapon skill, e.g. Spatial Surge for clones created while wielding a greatsword. Clones have approximately 1 second of delay between attacks, meaning they attack slower than the player. All effects of attacks such as conditions caused by Winds of Chaos still apply.
Although base damage of clones is near zero, they can apply conditions and boons depending on traits selected and their attack skill. Their purpose is to distract opponents, attract aggro, and be shattered by the mesmer to produce damage and other effects."

Something doesn’t seem right, though. My clones USED to do SOME damage (although very little), but I’m still trying to figure out the new build and trait tree, so maybe I don’t have something selected that I need to select.

In pvp, my torment shatter build seems like it got a nerf, too.
