Superior Rune of the Ranger and Mesmer
They no longer work. The 7% damage bonus fails to apply now with clones/illusions up…
Does it still work with mini?
Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.

Nope.
I guess this is not a bug but a fix of unintended functionality…
Whoo, i just swapped from scholar too .. Although it might still work with ranger pets, since they are “companions”, unlike mesmer clones.

Just tried on my necromancer in PvE-land. Mini no longer counts. Flesh Golem does.
Mesmer is using Traveler runes anyway. My thief however might be sad.
edit: thief is a bit sad. Rune bonus applies if a creature is summoned (thief, snow wurm, mistfire wolf etc.)

Okay time to swap it with strength runes then. Used ranger runes on my ranger but I also use the same armor for my thief (ascended, hence account bound).

Right, mesmer is not a pet class, just a class whose base abilities do 20%+ less damage than the other classes and the entirety of their output in pve depends on PETS (phantasms).
Clearly an exploit!

Never should have worked and people caught abusing it should be dealt with.
Is there a game where people don’t cheat somehow or get a proper punishment for doing so?

How is it an abuse or cheat?
(6): +7% damage while you have an active companion.
Mesmer illusions are mechanically ‘companions’ just as much as any other summoned ally (minions, golems, etc). The only difference is that ranger pets never despawn, even if dead (which is arguably a broken mechanic compared to other professions, which have no comparable advantage).

Do you even understand the difference between a companion and a minion? No, clones are no such things, neither are phantasms and definitely not summoned minions.
To what extent this would be bugged I’m unsure, but technically, if a Mesmer or a Necromancer could get the bonus for every active summon, let’s say 6*7% = we have a problem here, and a major one.

I don’t. Can you elaborate?

It’s clearly a problem of reading comprehension. Nowhere does it state “per each companion”.

Just report the troll and move on. Don’t fall for troll bait guys it’s pretty obvious.

If it could be bugged it could be on any level. While Rangers can only have one pet summoned other classes can use multiple pets, and that’s why technically, regarding the description, since initially it is meant in singular “an active companion”, with other classes this can have more severe consequences.
Just taking into consideration all possibilities.
I’m okay with this fix ANet, I understand that Illusions are not companions, they are rather visual dot’s and skills itself, affecting an enemy. The problem is not that this rune does no longer work on Mesmer, the problem is that we have no good alternative. The mesmer already suffers from half of it’s damage (Phantasms) beeing unable to get any benefits from sigils and runes. The 7% dmg was infact just a 3.5%~. So we can only use scholar now and hope to have more than 90% HP during reflection time. Great, thank you ANet. Bring us already some actual runes we can make use of…

That still doesn’t explain the difference between a companion and a minion. Besides, ranger can summon more companions as well.
I just bought 3 sets of different armor for my Mesmer with 3 different sets of Runes for wvw, pve and dungeons respectively. The PvE Assassin’s Set got equipped with rune of the ranger. How much more gold do I have to dump into this game until I can relax?
I’m not complaining about the 3000+ I spent on the mystic forge because that is my own fault but I can’t change Runes every day. Mesmer doesn’t have decent runes at all, there is Traveler, yes, but the cost is riddiculous and the overall stats are super-weak. I’m using Centaur so I can run in WvW, then I have to switch really fast to another Soldier’s Set so I can fight. Not even talking about the fact that you can’t save equipment in slots and have to retrait everything but this zz

I understand that Illusions are not companions,
They are, in fact, companions or allies, as far as other skills/traits go.
