Torch=Four second CD AoE Blind+Confusion

That’s a bug that will eventually be fixed, though.

Still have never heard an arenanet employee confirm that, everybody just assumes, and it was that way all through the beta. If you aren’t getting full use of the skill, why should it go on full CD?

Now I know, the four seconds is probably going to go away in favor of a scaling CD because it is imbalanced, but the torch will be utterly useless if it just always goes on a 30 second CD, and the mesmer already has enough useless weapons/skills.

You can get the full skill though. You can cancel it the moment the burn goes off and it still only goes on 4s CD.

Torch=Four second CD AoE Blind+Confusion

Sometimes when you mix equipment up in the Mystic Forge, it spits out items that can be bought from karma vendors too. They still remain BoP and can’t be sold or salvaged.

Illusionary Warden just wrecks some ranged mobs. He does tons of damage on his own, and they try to shoot at/through him and everything just gets reflected back, protecting your team and killing the mobs faster.

Vexor.3640:

Your clones will never overwrite a phantasm. Phantasms can (do) overwrite clones however. Phantasms are only overwritten by other phantasms. If you experience otherwise, that is a bug and repeat/test then report.

Not entirely. If you have 3 phantasms up and summon a clone, the oldest phantasm will be replaced. As long as you have at least one clone up, it will always be the first thing replaced though.

On the bright side, they do count as dying if you overwrite one by summoning a 4th illusion, so you can get some good use out of those abilities in a non-shattering build.

And honestly staff isn’t OP…on a single target it can take forever to kill people…honestly. But I do agree staff clones are the best clones

I dunno, enemies melt pretty fast from the Staff once you bring the clones out. Obviously the staff doesn’t do much direct damage, but the fact that it’s all tied up in the conditions it inflicts makes the clones way more dangerous than any others.

With good timing, you can actually get the burn effect and still cancel it before it goes on full cooldown, so it’s pretty abusable right now.

What do you mean exactly? Both abilities seem to do what they say. It’d be preferable if the stealth wasn’t a channel, but that doesn’t necessarily make it bugged.

The Scepter is quite good for Confusion/Shatter based builds. The auto-attack isn’t the most efficient way to make clones, but it helps when other stuff is cooling down, and Confusing Images is just a great skill in general. The block adds an additional clone, does good damage and adds some defense to the mix.

The reason the Whaler doesn’t do much damage when it hits is because all of its damage is in the bleeding status it inflicts with each shot. Still I don’t recommend using it at the monent, because Trident clones are pretty broken and apply Confusion with every single attack, leading to 10-12 stacks of Confusion on your target at all times if you have 3 of them out. So use those instead.

Also Mantras cast in about 1/4 the time while underwater, so Mantra of Pain does absurd amounts of damage as well.
