Infinite Horizon works on all Summons

[Me Games Ma.8426]

I don't know if this has been here before but I just noticed that Infinite Horizon has an effect on the following unit types:

 

* Toy-Summons (like the Cat familliar by the witch broom)

* Item Summons (tested with Elemental Powder and Sunspear Paragon Support)

* Skill Summons (like Mistfire Wolf or Take Root)

* Upgrade Summons (tested with Rune of the Lich)

* Minipets (cute little Desert Fox already knows how to do the Mirage Cloak)

 

This also works with Illusionary Ambush.

 

Is this known? Is there a way to exploit it? Spaghetti code?

This is a thing with Mesmer in general. Stuff like Time Catches Up also works on all or most of these things.

Apparently Anet just coded Mesmer to apply the effects to "everything summoned" instead of specified on clones/phantasm.

Lazy coders are lazy! :lol:

 

On Topic: I don’t see this becoming a problem, unless Rock Dog suddenly gets an ambush attack which unless they code it, won’t happen.

Yeah, I realized that in one of the PoF story mission where you can control a whole bunch of awakened soldiers.

It is hilarious to 'super charge' your awakened army with your mirage cloak.

In that story instance I "cheated" by using The bleed on dodge grandmaster trait as you are not allowed to attack yourself i bypassed that and attavked via dodging.

That is a nice one.

My friend played guardian and he kept the awakened alive by the dodge healing trait.

So I just went for renewing oasis + mirage mantle + infinite horizon. My awakened army all get regen + protection + superspeed after I dodge so they seldom die.

Remember when mini pet counted toward ranger runes? (actually didn't they revert it back so it did count again?) That popped into my head when first going through PoF and saw my bunny(Jackalop) get mirage cloak =3

 

as for "exploitable" not to much beyond letting pets/summons doge.

So here's an Update:

* WvW-Siege the Mirage throws gains mirage cloak. I am not aure if it acutually evades damage though. I will update shortly.

Alright I went through the trouble of finding a player on my ebemies server that tested things with me.

It seems that even though the buff Mirage Cloak gets applied no damage can be evaded by Siege Weapons/ Blueprints.

[Me Games Ma.8426]

Siege Golems for some reason get disconnected from the player. Golems do not gain Mirage Cloak (nor the superspeed) which I thought could have been exploitable.

There's one minipet in particular that has a HUUUUUUGE effect when you give it Mirage Cloak. Like absolutely colossal and blinding.
