Could We Get a Personal Indicator of How Many Active Illusions We Have?

When playing a frequent clone spamming build, I find it difficult to identify when the most optimal time to shatter is without wasting clones or losing out on damage. I know the 3 purple dots above your shatter skills indicate the amount of illusions that are currently active, but would it be possible if those dots could also float about our character's head as well so we don't have to look down so often? Of course this feature could only be seen by the player and not the opponents so the mesmer remains indistinguishable from its clones.

What are you thoughts on this? Do you like it? Is it necessary? Is this a l2p issue?

It would just be great if the dots disappeared as you use the shatter, rather than as the illusions shatter. It was difficult to know just how many illusions were still active after shattering as a Chronomancer unless you mentally remembered which phantasms were already shattered. It's totally unnecessary to force mesmers to counter use our limited working memories on tracking illusions numbers.

Yeah it would be helpful. I'm always looking down at the dots and yes even after you press shatter some of them are still running to target. And it's easy to lose track

I think it would also be handy to have the dots be like mini health orbs to see what health your illusions were at.I know I'd shatter a lot more if I knew my phantasms were super low health.

Hmmm though what I want are icons on your bar to indicate what kind of illusions you have active more than this. There are times I thought I had 3 Duelists active but i didn't notice I hade one Mage all along.

Or it died and you really have a Scepter clone out. 8D

Yeah something like that XD its bothersome to check which kind of Illusion you have out.

I try but with all the nametags and flashy skills it's like peaking through a crowd for someone wearing specific pants.

Perhaps we could also have those dots colour coded:Phantasms: Dark purpleClones: Light pink
