Guild Wars 2

I think I would rather see an Elite signet that has a passive on being hit by an attack would swap our character with one of our clones, with a 10 second cooldown. The active would be to generate 3 clones on a 60 second cooldown.

When I first picked up this class I was really hoping to see skills meant to confuse other players (like swap, phase retreat, etc), where a clone takes the place of where the mesmer was, to actually switch the targeting or mark to the clone. I understand this would be a bit OP, but as of now clones are just slightly extra fodder and mostly a mechanic that at many times just feels broken.

I like the idea, but you also have to consider that most mesmer abilities have a “good for me/bad for you” concept. In sticking with that, what benefit would this provide for the user’s allies? Also, could this also be used in a combo field (ethereal or light)?
