Notes

• This skill is locked until level 15.
• Daze does not stack in duration. If multiple clones are targeting a single opponent, the actual duration of daze depends on when each clone shatters.
  • As a result of this, Diversion is strongest when using a mix of ranged and melee clones, or ranged clones with the mesmer in melee range, increasing the likelihood that some shatters occur right away while other shatters need to wait for the clone to run to the target, which may cause yet another application if more than 1 second elapses between shatter hits.
