Notes[edit]
- An enemy Dazed by Time Sink cannot be dazed again until the daze effect wears off. For this reason, Time Sink is strongest when using a mix of ranged and melee clones, or ranged clones with the mesmer in melee range. That way, one Time Sink occurs right away, while other Time Sink needs to wait for the clone to run to the target to get in range, which may cause a second application of daze if the previous daze had already ended. The slow effect does stack normally regardless of time elapsed in between shatters.
- Against enemies with Defiance Bars however, all clones shattered will damage the defiance bar with their daze regardless of time elapsed in between their shattering. If only the mesmer hits with Time Sink, they will deal 100 damage to the defiance bar with daze, and another 100 damage over 2 seconds from Slow. If they hit with 3 clones and themselves, they will deal 400 defiance bar damage with their daze, and another 400 damage over 8 seconds from slow.
