As a mesmer farming in DE’s for loot from mob waves it seems like illusions (phantasms) contribute absolutely nothing to my loot % drop chances. Considering the majority of my damage comes from my illusions this seems highly flawed. I respecced to a different trait setup to capitalize on my two sole abilities capable of putting out melee AOE’s (1h sword skills 1 & 2) and now I’m getting substantially more drops per mob wave, around a 600% increase. Which I guess is fine if I want to respec every time I feel like farming, but it just seems off that of all my weapon set/abilities/illusions only two of skills are capable of getting me the same amount of loot as every other class.
