Yes. They disappear quick. AOE destroys them. They’re trash now.

AoE shouldn’t destroy them and they shouldnt be so obvious which ones are fake in PVP.
And they should have a HP pool…
So I guess you are right.

Correct, historically, AOE didnt hit them - for some reason they do now (so something needs to be fixed).
I’d love for them to have a HP pool - but I dont think they have for a long time now. 1 hit 1 disappears - I would much prefer them to each have something like 10% health pool or something - would make them worth a little more.

Should be like pets and take massively reduced damage from AoE, but they broke them. 
They turned them into a defensive ability rather than a DPS ability. Defensive wise its pretty trash anyway nobody is going to take those mirror talents… Maybe if mirrors had a lower CD

once i began to observe there effect i dumped them they simply dont last long enough to warrant a point especially in the AOE hell blizz likes to put its players through. I’ve seen one attack take out all three. Also you know the AI exists to make them better especially if you ever used them in the Torgast deliberate nerf or accident
They die quickly. A few times they died so quickly I questioned whether or not I had actually activated the ability.
At this point the button has been removed from my action bars. A fix can earn it back the spot it used to have.

I started to notice this happen a lot during the pre-patch while doing Torghast runs. I assumed it was something the adds were doing. But since the XP has launched it happens out in the world as well. Sometimes I’ll cast them and they’ll just instantly disappear for no apparent reason. I’m beginning to think its some sort of glitch.

ya who needs potentially 40 sec long defensive cooldown anyways…
I can’t help but think this is why they’ve changed them to we so crappy. Trying to coerce people into taking these talents. Also,
This X 1000
Starting from when I first noticed this happening, I think I saw them last longer than six seconds a total of two or three times. This in comparison to quite a few more times I’d check the ability to see that it did incur a cooldown. That was my only indication they had even been activated at all.
They were useful in Shadowlands. In this current state I view them as too grossly broken to even roll the dice.

They’re basically just a flavor ability at this point. I think of them as a toy.

Its a weird defensive ability where you can just pop them on a target to keep them in combat or slowed for a long period and give yourself a 20% damage reduction. I dont mind it, but i think it would be cooler if you could click mirrors again to swap places with one of your mirrors.
Its really good against rogues, can pop it and if they decide to blind you your mirrors will keep him in combat or against feral druid it will keep them slowed and will be difficult for them to shift out of all the frost bolt spam.
It 100% has its usages though, not sure if it also drops enemies target?
I always thought it would be cool if you could actually sick the Mirror Images on a target. Like if they actually just swarmed the target and wailed on them. They don’t do any damage anyway so it doesn’t really matter if they don’t cast. Especially in PvP where it’s almost an instinct to never want to let anyone close in on you it would be hilarious. People would be like: omg, get those damn things away from me! And in PvE it would just confuse the hell out of the AI.

What mirror image? Every time I press that spell, they seem to disappear instantly.

If they are going to nerf mirror image into the dirt, then they should have also bettered it’s mechanics. You can still target the caster far to easy to make this spell useful. Any direct damage makes it dissipate all images, this should be one image at a time. The spell should force other player to drop target much like feign death, or other useful hunter abilities. Also it should be more difficult to target caster then simply pressing tab, this function should be changed to target one of the mirror images. The other images should also be using the appropriate barrier ability, so that its not so easy to tell whom the real caster is. Otherwise just toss the skill itself. It’s pretty much useless now. Plus the fact its suppose to be a defensive ability how does it even work if getting charged by a warrior, or pulled by a dk the images disappear and its like you never used it. Does the 20% damage mitigation justify the quick dissipation of images, or would it be better served as an offensive ability used for bursting an unaware target. Honestly its kind of a load of crap that they nerfed it so hard. If this skill is not used in conjunction with invisibility, ice block, or some other more useful skill what are its uses now?
