Daniel Handler.4816 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I don't know when, or why they changed this (perhaps to avoid prestacking in fractals?). But now all non-mesmer ai can't be copied via Mimic/CS/Mushroom King's Blessing/Mistlock singularity. It will either destroy the first version or both.

Obtena.7952 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I don't think the impact of this means much to people. Can you explain how it affects play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtena.7952 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Sorry, maybe I'm not clear ... I don't understand what this change means in terms of how it affects skills, gameplay, etc ... maybe I'm the only one? Are you saying that illusions can't be summoned with this skill even if the CD on the summon skill is reset? Maybe an example to illustrate what should happen and what actually happens?

First off, using the term ai is vastly incorrect. You are not producing anything remotely ai. Summons, pets, henchmen etc are npcs (non player characters).Okay, now that this confusion is our of the way, so what?I have a feeling you are misunderstanding how Mesmer summoned work currently (aka the summoned phantasm gets replaced shortly after summoning by a clone). Maybe an explanation and example of this being a problem would help others understand your issues with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an explanation and example of this being a problem would help others understand your issues with this. A turret produced by take root is not a NPC. And this issue has nothing to do with Mesmer illusions. It's the additional skills we get such as the Mistfire Wolf that hasve been changed to not interact with Mesmer copy abilities.Again YMMV, the major issue is this is not in any patch notes.

Maybe an example to illustrate what should happen and what actually happens?If I were to use Thieves Guild on my thief, then use an adrenal mushroom to reset the cooldown and use the skill again, the first 3 AI thieves will be unsummoned. It is hardly a game changer in any way, but that is what he meant. It's not an exclusive mesmer thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And despite being non-exclusive it affects mesmer more since we have access to mimic and continuum shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
