Whenever a clone is generated now it attacks it’s nearest target and not the target of the mesmer. Doesn’t seem to be a major issue for scepter use since it spawns the clones beside their target, unless multiple targets are stacked or very nearby.

The major issue arises with kiting and nearby foes while using deceptive evasion to generate clones. This bug is easily recreated in the mists on the practice golems. Engage a target to put yourself into combat and keep them targeted. Now stand near another foe and dodge roll to create a clone. It will attack the nearest target regardless of whether or not it is in combat with you.

You may say that it is in combat but I discovered the issue while in a PvE map and my clones decided to attack the nearby rats that have 1 health after a dodge roll. After which they immediately despawned since their target was deceased. I was able to recreate this bug easily and even managed to get my iZerker to attack the nearest and wrong target by casting it while in a dodge roll. Haven’t been able to recreate this issue with any other phantasm or even again with the iZerker, although I assure you it did happen.
