Mesmer (offhand sword 4)
2 patches so far and no fix >.<
aNet HELP!!! no clone yet.
Remain calm. They’ll get to it as soon as they can!
/I deal with most derangements, sir./
So many patches have pasted. Things have been tweaked, tuned and fixed on all the classes in the game. The problem I’m having is “Mesmer’s Sword offhand skill Illusionary Riposte does not create a Clone when you block an attack while having a Scepter in your main hand.”.
This is still an issue and I feel like I’m not being heard. I’ve posted a ticket using the in game bug reporter, I’ve posted on the forums in different areas and still no results. I understand the expansion is being worked on but when I see patches come out I jump to the Mesmer section hoping it has been fixed. When I don’t see it I still go in game and test to see if a clone will come out. Anywho … yeah. :’(

You aren’t likely to get any formal response.
For various reasons, ANet has decided that it would not dedicate staff time to responding to the forums or social media. The advantage is that tangling with consumers can end up distracting staff, creating additional issues (since most of us aren’t well-prepared to write so well that we are never misinterpreted), and in the long run, means the company can afford more people to actually work on bugs.
The disadvantages include the fact that most of the time, we won’t find out from ANet if they are working on an issue until it’s fixed (and only if we happen to read the patch notes and someone thought to include the changes there).
Personally, I would love for them to have someone on staff dedicated to respond to bug reports and suggestions. However, I can tell you from experience that it’s all too easy for someone to do that job merely competently and make matters worse; it’s really hard to get the right person who will be worth the salary + benefits that won’t be available to another dev, tester, or even configuration manager.

I’ve only noticed this happening while I’ve had scepter equipped. If I do sword / sword, no issue. Scepter / sword and sword 4 is bugged. Hope that helps!
Huge thanks to aNet for fixing the issue <3
