Signz… Seeing all these “recommendations” to add ICD to Illusionary Reversion by players make me wonder if they ever play shatter mesmer before or not. Not to be rude but adding ICD will kill off the shatter build instantly. That 3 secs or 5 secs recommendation is a very long duration in pvp.
Robert’s implementation of 2 clones seems like a better choice. If you say it’s hard to produce 2 clones, then you aren’t playing a mesmer right. Mesmers can create 2 clones easily anytime. All you need to do is just to add another clone after each shatter prior to the 1st one to continue the clone generation.
Mesmer is a class where it requires a lot of skills thinking/rotation. not just stand there to attack and hoping for a second clone to appear.
