Guild Wars 2

Guildies of mine have been wondering why they occasionally see clone even when they are not mesmers. Google told this:

Certain mesmer projectiles have “Create a clone of yourself” as an on-hit effect. Namely, the third hit of the scepter’s auto-attack (and greatsword #2, but that can’t be reflected…)

If you reflect them and they hit something, then the projectile counts as yours, so it’ll make a clone of you to attack them. It’s similar to how reflecting a thief’s scorpion wire will pull them to you.

The amusing thing about this is, while mesmers are programmed to only allow 3 illusions at once, other classes are not. Theoretically, you could spawn enough clones to crash the server.

So they went into empty pvp map to test. On the pictures below they tested it on purpose, in real fight this would not be possible. Just FYI about limitless closes.

Lol.

But please, whatever you change to fix this obvious bug, PLEASE keep in mind that you do not bugfixnerf anything else by accident with that particular fix.
Thanks.

No, NO! Don’t fix it I want to have my personal army asisst me in my fights … to bad that won’t work on mesmer itself … imagine the shatter damage … lol! 1-Hit-Kill-Jormag.

Reflect has some many weird issues, thanks to the base mechanic of actually sending the very projectile in return.
