Reminds me of the good ol' D&D 2nd edition mage spell Mirror Image

Commentaire de Bedrayne

Do these benefit from IV/Heroism/Bloodlust if it is up when they pop or would it be like a WE where the WE has to be summoned before the heroism, or do they simply not benefit at all?

But if u look at the video, u can see them casting rostbolts while the main mage casts fireball... ohnoes =((

Commentaire de 152011

People are misinterpreting this spell's purpose. It's NOT intended to fool your opponent into not knowing which mage you are. This spell is NOT a defensive spell, but an offensive one, solely created to rise your damage output.

For this reason, it makes absolutely no difference they cast different spells, have different buffs, or are called Mirror Images.

Commentaire de 206461

i hope that images can cast a variety of spells. it seems silly put such a nice aesthetic, such a cool face on a such a mundane effect as essentially throwing out extra frost damage.

Commentaire de hpavc

At the moment its basically multiple water elementals spamming bolts.

Commentaire de 46812

Seems like when you are fighting two enemies at the same time, the images will "chicken" one and attack the other target

5 man Arena team with 5 mages

5 mages +15 mirror images+ 5 water elementals = 25 sources of damage

25 vs. 5 in arena should make if very fair for us mages.

Commentaire de 212273

Mirror Image:
- Copy you character with all detailes (hair, gears, even if you use noggenfogger, they will copy the skeleton or small size)
- Copy also the same stats and buffs as you have (so if you arcane power, they will be affected by arcane power, too)
- If you ran away too far from copies you will be blinked back to them
- If you attacking 2 or more targets, mirror images will Hex (chicken) one of them for a short period of time
- They attack same target as you, and follow you always - the only way they behave, and only way to control them
- They cast low level frostbolts, average damage from bolt registered 800-900

Their copied buffs if you have 1second left on a buff does the copy loose the buff in 1 second or does it maintain the buffs for the duration of the image?

Further more if you get a buff after they are copied do they get the buff as well?

Commentaire de 226000

Just rather curious about a few things:

1. If your frost, will this have any effect on your images? (will their damage be higher/get shatter effects etc)

2. Can you summon your images and a water elemental at the same time?

If both of those are yes, then Ima be afraid of frost mages.

Commentaire de 227491

tbh, i don't we deserved to have it nerfed since other classes have so called OP spells too and its on a 3 min CD, so i say just let us have some fun with it and except you will get pwned once in a while :P

Commentaire de 226779

After looking at this spell on youtube (pre-nerf) I can say that is definitely was imbalanced. However, if they can be killed easily, and the damage was reduced then it will be a nice edition to the mage arsenal.

Personally I am most looking forward to Arcane Barrage, since it is very rare that I ever get to stand still and cast in PvP.

40 mage raid, 120 copies, 80 vodoo gnomes, 40 floating dwarfs from the direbrew trinkets, 40 water elementals

for major laughs lets assume all 40 mages have the horsemans blade which summons 3 pumpkin adds. thats 120 more targets
for 440 targets now.

who knows what lvl 80 holds in store, more trinkets to summon adds, more weapons to summon adds. misc items to summon an add or more(SM dog whistle).

1 mage, 3 copies, 2 gnomes, 1 dwarf, 1 elemental, 3 pumpkins

So while Mirror image is in effect you can switch clones? What do you do, just right click buff like a shammy's Sentry Totem?

People think this will be OP, but one critting AoE will clear them all out I think.

Commentaire de toastmaster7727

When I look at this spell I basically see another reason why mages are still favored more than moonkins. At least in the BC expansion, moonkins had our tree spell for PvP and it was pretty unique. Now I find my trees less interesting because I know of this mage spell. Why not give the moonkin trees more abilitites? Perhaps an attack bar with unique abilities that the AI can use or the moonkin directly controls (while still averaging out the trees dmg). While moonkins may still be druids which IS a hybrid class, it would be more enjoyable to play one if they have more unique abilities.

Commentaire de 256790

From my personal experience, I don't advise using this spell on bossfights featuring a boss with sheepable ads (like Grand Widow Faerlina). The images will attempt to poly one of the ads, which can prove fatal to the whole raid.

Also, on boss abilities that target random players (like Archavon the Stone Watcher's Shards or charge, etc.), the images may also be targeted.

Commentaire de Gosgosgosu

Yeah it was a Blademaster spell, so technically Warriors or Rogues should inherit it family-tree-wise. But...

It makes perfect sense that the only class who could use this spell to make copies that can kill would be a Mage, if Blizz had given this to Warriors or Rogues it would have just been a distraction/confusion ability due to their strictly non-magical nature...... And if Blizzard had given this to DKs I'd have screamed :P

I love you Blizz! Give us more cool looking abilities, who cares what they do, just make it cool :D
With how WotLK is playing out I think Blizz is really learning how to make a great game ;)

Commentaire de Luxor0

I don't know if I'm getting the "Apply Aura: Mod Total Threat (Fade)" Wrong but doesn't this drop your threat? Haven't had a chance to try it out threat wise.
That would give it another defensive mechanism for PvE.

Commentaire de 28864

Some clarifications about this spell, because it has changed substantially since beta and many comments on this page are no longer accurate:

-The names above the heads of the mirror images display as your own name, not "Mirror Image." Therefore, it is more difficult to distinguish between yourself and the images. A smart player should easily be able to determine the "real" mage because of his movement patterns and the variety of spells he can cast. However, the spell does have the potential to momentarily confuse targets in PvP. Your enemies may click the wrong target and waste a cast.

-The mirror images cast a fireblast and a frostbolt. Their spell damage scales with your own spell power. When I had 981 spell power, the frostbolts were hitting for ~265 damage each. When I removed my staff and had 685 spell power, they hit for ~235.

-Similarly, their health scales with the mage. I have 10.9k life, and my images had ~2230 health. They also had nearly 11k mana, which is more than enough considering their spells cost only ~100 mana and they last only 30 seconds at maximum. They will not run out of mana under normal conditions.

-The spell has some very interesting and useful properties in PvE, in addition to the obvious DPS increase. If you look on the top of this page, you'll see that the first spell effect is a very powerful fade. When you cast mirror image it "tricks" NPCs and they will not attack you as long as at least one of your mirror images remains. When the images die, you will regain back all of your threat, however.

Commentaire de Manicminer

I can't believe nobody mentioned so far that this WIPES aggro on mobs in PvE for the duration of the spell. So if you are on the aggro threshold on a boss you can pop this spell and wipe your aggro to zero, giving your tank the chance to regain stability. Your threat will return to its previous value when the images die.

Now I know threat is not a major issue so much in WoTLK - but on bosses like Malygos, it's very possible to pull aggro when you're throwing out 25k FFB's over and over again. Also you get the odd double scorch + hot streak proc at the beginning of a fight which can catch some tanks unawares.

Similarly if you manage to body pull or have adds running at you, popping this spell will make the mob target one of your images, saving your life.

EDIT: Blergh, missed Jforsyth's post above!

Commentaire de 90630

I play rogue and I seriously hope that this is a bugg, When a mage pops this in a duel and lets say he's 20 yards away from me, It actually puts me out of stealth ;s Pretty strange , anyone else who had this experience?

Commentaire de 106869

Too add to this,
Images take advantage of all raid wide buffs, specifically Shaman Bloodlust. If you can coordinate with your raid shaman to pop these before bloodlust goes off they wil get a casting speed increase. Just a useful tip if you are using them for damage =)

Commentaire de 283858

I have an idea for a new 5v5 arena team.

Im a night elf disc priest so i get 4x arcane mages then POM/pyro one target down and then pop this to confuse the enemy more then they alrdy are. The whole time im in shadowmeld then come out for heals when they ice block.

This makes 16 mages out there that there are trying to target and call out

Effect #1 Apply Aura: Mod Total Threat (Fade)
Value: -90000000

in game does not state this, wowhead says that. and its a most valuable fact.

when you use mirror image, for the next 30 seconds"whether the mirror images live or die" you generate ZERO threat, and the clones themselves generate minimal threat aswell.
on top of that it serves as a "sort" of aggro wipe. i say "sort" because your aggro goes to your clones if you have any upon use.

so for example lets say your fighting Malygos and you pull aggro off the main tank. Now among being flamed, yelled at, and talked to by your GM/RL/class lead/everybody else....you should get killed....BUT...Time it well enough and if you pop mirror image he will kill your three clones and you have 30 seconds of aggro free dps in which it would be very wise to use invis(assuming Malygos doesn't use his frontal cone attack and wipe the raid)

30 seconds of aggro free dps....this helps me bypass the slow start for warrior and druid tanks while they stack their debuffs.

Omen will show you at 0.0% threat for those 30 seconds. you can go Arcane Explosion happy in the spider wing of Naxx and generate no threat. a healer will pull aggro before you. this does NOT make you invincible though. remember that 0.0% threat is higher than "blank" threat. so body pulling will cause them to come for you if your alone in that sence.

i must contradict myself however, because if you have mirror image up(ie-ready to be used) theres something wrong. failure to use CDs most likely means failure to use a hot streak pyroblast when it procs.

Commentaire de 63715

Now if only Blizz would let Arcane Mages add this spell to Arcane Flows...then you could macro it all together.

Arcane Power + Mirror Image + Presence of Mind + Trinket + Fireball (or Pyroblast, whatever's your poison). Icing on the already high-stacked cake.

Commentaire de testdrug

I don't know if this has been answered before, but does anyone know if the Mirror Image's adopt it's casters resistances as well?

I assume not, but interested in a confirmation.

Commentaire de 303401

after reading the posts on this skill I did not notice anyone touching on a few key facts about this skill. Firstly as mentioned before upon using this skill threat does drop to 0% and during this time u can not pull agro. However after the 30/s are up and the images collapse all the threat u previously were not seeing is added in (including the threat the copies produce).

Proper ways to use this spell in a raid enviroment would be as follows. Fight starts pop MI and blow all CD's for top DPS continue your typical max DPS rotation until 5 seconds remain on MI copies. Keep in mind when you MI's drop you are going to get a HUGE amount of threat added way more then any tank would produce in the beginning 30/s of any raid boss, we combat this by simply using invisibility in the in the final seconds of MI to erase all established threat and start over with 0 threat ( basically the same threat u would have if you bodied pulled ).

Some things worth noting Invisibility 3 min cd, MI 3 minute cd also this cycle could/shud be repeated every 3 minutes. With the current DPS/threat mages can produce this is the only way the mage has to combat pulling threat and allowing you continue to use your MAX DPS rotation.

some misconceptions would be that this skill is like a OH S**T in case you pull agro, which it is but the idea is to not pull agro while maintaining max dps and we do this by using it early and often as needed.

Holy *!@# you guys lets just think all day about this random o 1 mage = 11. Think of it this way if this was possible WHY DONT MAGES DO THIS! because they are very squishy thats why even though all the damage u and your 11 adds are doing they honestly wouldnt stand a chance.

Commentaire de 315859

Let us imagine the hugest arena team ever!

Take 5 mages, each using a Mirror Image to create 3 copies of self. Thus, 20 mages.
Then suppose each mage is deep frost specced. Thus giving us 5 water elementals. The total number rises to 25. The amount of people that it takes to defeat Illidan!
Then suppose each of these mages is exalted with Netherwing... 5 commander's badges makes us 5 whelps, for a total of 30.
And than let's imagine that each of our mages is a Zul'Aman raider and posesses a Tiny Voodoo Mask! That gives us 3 more mobs per mage, thus 15 more mobs, for a grand total of 45 players and mobs! This is more than it took to defeat Kel'Thuzad pre-TBC! And if you add some non-combat pets too, we can have a grand total of 50 mobs and players against 5... Of course most of this army can be defeated with a couple of AoE spells but the enemy is guarantied to be surprised. And if they have a bad videocard... well the lagfest might even prevent them from defending themselves properly...

Commentaire de 196104

There's also a little thing I noticed bout this spell and PvE that I lovingly call "Silent Threat."

I use Omen3 threat meter, and while I have Mirror Image active I have anywhere from -3 to 0 threat on any and all targets that were not actively attacking me before. This means, you have 30 second of not pulling aggro.

In my experience, you could completely unload everything you have for thirty seconds building this Silent Threat, after which the threat you have built up suddenly reappears all at once. (For me, I usually end up in the top five on threat afterwards, but still well behind the tank) The only way this works though is when you have a decent tank that can out-threat you over this thirty second period.

Commentaire de 252039

So is this not working properly against bosses anymore? I iattempted to use it against the last boss in MGT on heroic. I was at 100% threat, popped mirror image and the threat never dropped. I stood at 100% threat while he never even touched the images.

Commentaire de 173812

Man, since when did mages have mirror image in lore? It's a blade master thing, and since arms warriors is bladestormers now, WE should have mirror imagine *!@#ing BlizzTard. Yeah, 4 warriors, all performing bladestorm and whirlwind.

Commentaire de kimmisc

Be thoughtful of where you use mirror image, because if they're still alive when the current pull dies, they WILL pull any other nearby mobs.

Contrary to what has been said, they do not always attack the mob YOU are attacking. A good example of this is when my mirror images attacked Grand Widow Faerlina's adds before she was enraged. On first glimpse it looked to others like I was attacking the wrong target. Thankfully their dmg is low.

Their polymorph is penguin, and if there are enough extra mobs, they will poly 3 of them. This has actually saved one of my groups from a wipe when the tank died in heroic UK. Even the short duration of their CC saved alot of dmg to us squishies.

Commentaire de 218363

I just want to add that if you pop your mirror images in the shiny mess during the malygos fight, they gain the buff as well and aren't affected by the swirling tornado thing maly does. Mine were critting above 1k damage when standing in two of the buff circles. So pop these right in the center of the shiny crap right before you're lifted off and you get some more dps when you're limited to only using instant casts.

Commentaire de 258092

Hopefully this is actually new info and I didn't just miss it while reading all the posts. If you have enemy nameplates on and "show class colors in nameplates" on (I think that's under combat options), enemy mirror images have NPC-fire-engine-red nameplates, not mage-powder-blue nameplates. So there need be no fear of momentarily losing the real enemy mage, even with a totally standard UI.

that is awful,

how can no one notice how bugged is that spell. there is no way to control it, or if there is one, pls tell me. in arena those mages always attack wrong target or do the wrong thing.

Here is an example: i fight a lock he got 2k health left i got around 3. I cast mirror image then ice block, thinking those little dummys will finish that damn lock. But while i sit there freezing as chicken what do i see? Those little pieces of crap are poly-ing (and so healing) that *(?*&%)*%$)?*$) lock whos laughing as a pig.

another example? : funny it is when you arrive to poly a healer at the right time to kill his dps and the statement ''immune''' pops up because your little ''let me have fun'' image decided they want to play with the cute pinguin

so thank you so much blizz for removing that random ''i loose button'' polymorph. thank you again!

but there is still a problem up: you wanna kill a hunter, you dps him, you cast mirror image (so he loose his target and incease your damage done) that hunter fainght death ... who will the crispy mages attack after? the pet ........................ *%$&(?(?%$

Commentaire de Mdj71

They should really make the mirror images different, one arcane, one frost and one fire.
That way using the spells you are specced for wouldnt be such a give away, it would be easier to blend in and confuse people.

I know that the MI has a different colored healthbar, but it would not be as easy as now to identify the real player :)

Commentaire de kekwtf19

If you got addon that shows target hp you can see that Mirror images have 3k and player over 15k so it's easy to spot real you ;p

Commentaire de 281630

As well as everything that's been said, I've noticed that after your target dies the images will do whatever they want.

Sometimes, this includes attacking a random target, attacking your new target, or just standing there.

Also, I've come across times where I cast mirror image without establishing aggro on anything, and they run off to attack something 30yds plus (far enough where I couldn't tab target them) behind us when I've a boss right in front of me, which caused us to wipe.

From what I've noticed this does not just shift the aggro to your images either. In a
PvE group, after using it, it seems to drop aggro from you and your images making the mob run off to another person in the group.

This spell has caused me to wipe enough times, that in spite of the increase in dps I'm tempted to take it off my bar.

If I was a boss, this would be my raid wiping move.

It's cool in theory but more useful for threat wiping and a little extra dps in PvE than it is for actually quadrupling your damage. For some reason, mobs tend to attack the mirrors first, so you can evocate to full health/mana and use bandaids and whatnot. It's also pretty awesome to see three clones of yourself casting at the same time.

This is officially my most hated spell.

Every time I use it, I regret it. :/

Has a nasty habit of killing of NPCs if used to defend yourself in a neutral town. (just killed off two guards and a few quest givers in Cenarion Refuge after I was jumped by a DK just outside of town)

Lost me 500 rep. I'm dumb enough to keep using this spell.

Best use is with Glyph of Mirror Image and Invisibility. It summons four copys of you and when you fades, there are only the copys. It look like you and three copys (whitout Glyph of Mirror Image).

A little note for the mages that love having fun :)

Mirror Image will copy your exact appearence ,meaning that if you have used an underbelly elixir

Which kinda makes me wonder..is the druids' Insect Swarm a reaaally

Commentaire de 364275

This spell does have one drawback. If you have a shammy healer assigned to you the mirror images will take jumps of the chain heal for themselves. We did Heroic Occulus last night with a DK Tank, Resto Shammy, 2 Arcane Mages and an Affliction Lock (me).

The two mages would spam Mirror Image and the images would hog all the chain heal jumps. It got to the point that the healer wouldn't even use it when one of them had images up, relying instead on his Lesser HW's and Riptide.

We got it done and the images helped but the mages were much harder to keep alive than I was (and I life-tap like a fiend).

Commentaire de 82808

I think the spell is made all wrong. I would like it a lot more if it was like the Blademaster spell from WC3 where the copies could not be told from the true hero, so you got confused. Sorta like, the mage's feign death. The NPCs should appear as players but do no damage, just like in WC3. THAT would own!

Anyone else think this is OP in an arena? Why is it that a DK can not use army of the dead but mages can use this? And does anyone know why when I am attacking the mage and he casts this it changes my target to one of the mirror images?

Anyone else have some aggro issues with this? maybe its a glitch, but if i use mirror images, on a mob that was previously encountered, but not killed, it aggro's it, For instance im in PoS soloing trash, almost died on a trash pull, i go to the other side of the zone to kill something else, but when i use mirror image, this elite comes running form the other side of the zone, just from using mirror image.

Commentaire de tuckmuck203

i think some people may be over looking the fact that these guys just have no spellpower gear, so maybe they just do the regular amount of damage for that grade of frostbolt

"Patch 3.3.0 (2009-12-08): Now reduces the damage your pets take from area-of-effect damage by 90%, but no longer applies to area-of-effect damage caused by other players" (Referring to Avoidance)

This should mean that MI is no longer an 'I-Win' in 2v2.. A Seed of Corruption or a few seconds of Hurricane, or maybe a good Whirlwind should be able to take these pests out.

Thes guys have huge agro-range. I've tryed them in Nexus and Zul'Aman and in both of those places, Mirror-images "body-pull" mobs that wouldnt agro You as player.

Man, I don't know what he is, but I am most definitely a Warlock.

And I envy you guys this awesome spell. I LUUUUST after it!

One might even argue that we Warlocks are more evil, and so illusion and fakery would be more up our sleeves. But meh. I've got my own tricks.

I often wonder why it is that mages and warlocks think they can't get along. Honestly, I'd love to partner up with a mage for some serious painspamming against someone else.

We need 40 alliance and 40 horde mages with Glyph of Mirror Image fighting each other and all of them using it at the same moment, would be most epic 30 seconds ever in wow.

A lot of people emphasize the synergy this spell has with Invisibility in PvE and PvP. For all you troll frost mages out there, this spell has excellent synergy with Berserking, as well. Whereas Arcane has a 2-min Invis, the 3-min cd for a troll frost mage works well with the 3-min cd of their racial to the point where you could macro both together, off-setting the threat you generate in your hastened state with the aggro-management of your clones.

Edit: Also, for all you first time pet owners out there like me (never made a hunter or a lock before, and my shadowfiend is going to hit something on my priest; I have no time to give it other instructions and I want mana), as has been previously stated, your permanent water elemental allows you control over the mirror images. My personal experience, however, is that your water elemental will only allow you limited control over them. If you pop Mirror Images, they will start off attacking your last target. For some reason, if you change your pet's targets during this time, even if your pet obeys you, your images sometimes will not. What you can do for this, however, is manually change their targeting by resetting it. Make your pet follow you and they will do the same(which erases their order to attack the target they were just on), and then your pet (and them) will attack your next target. Assuming, of course, that your pet is not on aggressive.

What Mirror Image does:

Creates three incomprehensibly handsom people that will fight for you for 30 sec. Everything thing about the Mirror Images is completely perfect in every way.

I would REALLY like to see a larger arsenal from the images than just the 1 frost spell.

Fought a mage earlier, as a DK. threw Dark Simulacrum up as he cast mirror image. Next thing he knew, three more DKs, firing frostbolts back at him. Kinda wish the mirrored DKs would do something else, but it still surprised him for a bit

Commentaire de nonentity

I really wish they'd just remove that damn spell and give us something useful, or fix it FFS...

Lately the Mirror Images have done more harm than good, they pull mobs that are nowhere near attacking me etc. They actually ruined two Ozruk tries in Heroic Stonecore because they actually ran to the beginning of the room and pulled a group. First time we had no idea where they came from, second time I actually saw them heading there as soon as I popped them (while I was already fighting the boss) and start attacking the mobs. The group was like 100 yards away.
Damn bugged things.

Some observations about the images' targeting behaviour:

If I'm targeting an enemy when I cast Mirror Image, the images will always attack it. This made me start using a focus macro for Polymorph shortly after Cata hit. (I wasn't using Poly in Wrath dungeons, and I was leveling mostly through dungeons by the time I got Mirror Image, so I wouldn't have noticed whether this was an issue then or not.)
They won't target critters or crowd-controlled units as long as I don't. (I don't think freezes are counted as crowd control, at least not my own when I'm in frost spec.)
They only switch targets when the current target dies. At that point, I think they'll always target my target if I have one that's attackable.
I believe they have a larger aggro radius than a Water Elemental on aggressive, since they'll run toward a target who's outside their attack range, which the Water Elemental (who I think has the same attack range) won't do unless ordered.
They will sometimes pull guards by attacking enemy players (I've only tested this on a PvP server). When this happens, the guards attack me, not the images. This is a shame, because they'd otherwise be a great help when farming for Volatile Earth in front of the shelter at Nordrassil.

Something I have not seen mentioned here is how buffs affect your images. After some cursory testing, it does seem that the intellect buff from Ressorts synaptiques does affect the damage your images put out. To benefit, you must use your gloves first, then use MI. They do not receive buffs that you use after they are out.

Note that I could be wrong, but damage I have recorded with recount shows a damage increase with synapse used before MI.

EDIT: Further testing indicates that trinket abilities also affect MI damage. In my case it was Talisman d'ordre sinistre

Commentaire de xoddie

Does anyone else have this problem? Sometimes I pop mirror image and it will aggro mobs from way way far away. At first I thought it was just a one time glitch, but now I notice it does it quite often. On the last boss in Stonecore, I have stopped using this spell because it will pull mobs that we skipped from 1000 yards away.

Commentaire de Froswaldthegreat

I never noticed them pulling mobs that I don't want pulled, maybe they fixed it. I have noticed that they seem to tank enemies for me, I was unloading arcane blasts that usually would make the guy (Cho'war) want to impale me, but he always stayed at 99% threat for me until the images died.

Commentaire de 125087

Useless fun fact.

currently in 4.0.1 your mages can exploit Presence of Mind.

meaning that if you have PoM on yourself,(and how clones gain all of our buffs even though they don't display) that your clones will insta cast whatever spell they are supposed to(FB by default, or AB with the Glyph).

in 30 seconds, my clones spamming arcane blast with 4 stacks and not going below 94% mana had put out 78k dmg.

plus side: could be useful damage in pvp
downside: no using any hardcast spells(only lance, barrage, missiles, fireblast, and slow)

*Losing PoM causes the clones to lose it as well and resume hard casting.

The more you know ...
Mirror images do not have weapon enchant.

Too bad these don't copy you when you do an emote, four dancing mages doing the /rude emote at the enemy.....Or even funnier, a raid group full of lvl 50 gnome mages all doing the /train emote

A Cool Trick I have found and Spread with the Mirror Image Spell!
I found this almost as soon as I was able to use the Spell.

The trick is, If you find a cramped space in the game, where you cannot jump and barely move, You then Use Mirror Image Spell and "OMG! How the hell did you do that!" Instead of copys of yourself. Shadows casters appear instead! It is also possible to get 2 ghosts and 1 copy of yourself.

Just thought I'd share this with the world! seems No-one else has found it yet.

Have fun mages!

Any1 having problems with mirror image not attacking nothing at all? A lot of times I pop them up and they stay put and don't attack nothing the entire duration of the Mirro Image spell.
