Guild Wars 2

Deceptive Evasion aka “Clone on Dodge” doesn’t work in the Ascalon Assault Fractal.
It seems that being in a different form prevent clones from being summoned while dodging because this exact same thing happens in the Path 3 of Ascalonian Catacombs when you are transformed into a ghost or during the Grenth Event in Cursed Shore when you walk into the black well to be able to hit the Shades.

I can second this, both in the Ascalon Fractal and Path 3 of AC. It leaves shatter-build mesmers feeling rather useless.

Bump because this bug needs to be acknowledged.
There’s also another frustrating issue with this trait: the clone created targets the closest enemy, and often it happens to be an unanimated object.

Separate thread for separate bugs, but yeh, +1 to OP

Upon running the “Urban Battlegrounds Fractal” in FotM the past 2 nights i found one of the mesmer traits does not work inside this particular fractal.

“Deceptive Evasion: Create a clone at your current position when you dodge.”

I tried dodging about 100 times, tried to reset the trait point, tried the same fractal a 2nd time, and i was unable to spawn clones when i dodge/roll.

The trait did behave as intended in other fractals, but some reason it doesn’t work in “Urban Battlegrounds fractal”

It’s a well known bug since forever (also happens in AC path 3), but apparently it’s not a priority for the dev team.

Any news on when this will be addressed?!

In the third path of Ascalon Catacombs, if you are a mesmer that has traited to create a clone whenever you dodge, it simply doesn’t happen. This is post 3rd of December patch, don’t know about before.

I did that path two days ago (before the patch) and it didn’t work either. It seems the trait doesn’t work when you are in another form :<

Yah the same applies on the Ascalon invasion fractal when everyone is turned into charr

Just wanted to confirm this as well. I shatter clones fairly aggressively so those extra clones definitely help too. I most likely look like an idiot frantically dodging around for no reason now. lol

Didn’t work before either. If you’re transformed into anything, no clones.

We do have a bug on this, but not an ETA on when it will be fixed yet. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

While you’re on it, fix it so the clones don’t attack random yellow mobs they stand next to.

Man.. this is still not fixed..
i feel so useless without this talent on the Ascalonian fractal.. cant shatter illusions very often.. :/
