maybe change [Self-Deception] so that you create a clone when using a deception spell without requiring an initial clone

pls? I think it wouldn't be broken.

Sorry, devs will not hear any idea on improving Mirage. Try posting a virtuoso buff and you might see it in a few patches.

Yes. This and making it so clones remain active for 3-5 secs outside of combat would go a long way into mesmer and mirage play.

Of course I hold no hopes that any such changes would ever happen, but we can dream.
