Is it normal, or due to the last update, to see mesmers’ phantasms that were first targeted at the door of a keep (in WvW) passing through the door to attack players trying to defend inside?
You can now see several clones or phantasms rush toward you when you try to defend a door with an arrow cart or a treb, instead of attacking the door they were cast on.
Don’t you think this gives an unfair edge? I tried to defend a door and found myself buried in half a dozen phantasmal berzerkers. I was inside the keep, nowhere where the mesmers could have targeted me. They targeted the door, and the phantasms came at me.
It sounds like a bug where targeting an object/obstacle causes the clones/phantasm to go after a player or mob. I have seen it happening in PvE and not sure if it’s the case.
I noticed that my phantasms get spawned on the other side of the door and are not attacking it; I also noticed some suspicious activity on the other side of the door (red and white damage indicators), which I assumed was phantasms fighting NPCs or players.
Not sure where and how it is reproducible, but that definitely looks abnormal. Will list it in this thread.
This seems to happen with Reinforced gates. Regular gates seem to behave as before. However, reinforced, I saw my berserker phantasm appear inside the keep, then run off and vanish, and duelist just stood there like they had no idea what to do.
Edit: I haven’t tried it in EotM since feature patch so it seems there is more to it. The tower I tried it at was T1 and had no issues, but at Bay with reinforced gates I had the issue as described above.
