Spell Mirror Image was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. It then spawned five illusion images and there was also two other skills to synergise with Mirror Image: [[Duplicate Conjuring|Duplicate Conjuring]] for more images and [[Conjured Health|Conjured Health]] for more health.
'''Previous versions:'''* Mirror Image was still listed at [[Mirror Image (BlizzCon 2008)2010]], but it wasn't one of the Wizard's starting skills.

In order to avoid close combat as much as possible, the Wizard can create duplicates of herself, who will also aggressively attack opponents.
==Skill Design==
This spell [[skill]] creates a duplicate of the [[Wizard]] that use uses Wizard spells to ferociously attack [[monster]]s the instant it appears. The Image's spells don't do any damage, so it's more like an animated {{iw|Amazon_Passive_and_Magic_Skills#Decoy Decoy}} than a {{iw|Assassin_Shadow_Disciplines#Shadow_Master Shadow Master}}. But it works like a [[tank]], with monsters attacking the Image if it is closer to them than the Wizard, and as anyone who has played artillery characters knows, a tanking minion (or another player) is beyond value.
This skill was not used very often during the gameplay at [[BlizzCon 2009]] since the Wizard was powerful enough to slaughter most attackers without needing the assistance, but the few times it was used against big groups of monsters, it worked marvellouslymarvelously. The mirror doesn't last for very long, usually dying to the monster onslaught, but it didn't have to. The Wizard has a number of nice [[AoE]] spells even at low levels, and all the Image had to do was provide a focal point for the [[Fallen]] or [[Dark Cultist]]s to swarm around to turn them into fish in a barrel for [[Arcane Orb]]s.
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' One illusion for 8 with 20% of [[caster]]'s [[health]]. (projectedA)
* '''Rank 2:''' One illusion for 8 with 40% of [[caster]]'s [[health]].
* '''Rank 3:''' One illusion for 8 with 60% of [[caster]]'s [[health]].
* '''Rank 4:''' One illusion for 8 with 80% of [[caster]]'s [[health]]. (projectedA)* '''Rank 5:''' One illusion for 8 with 100% of [[caster]]'s [[health]]. (projectedA) (A) = Assumed

==Development==
The [[BlizzCon 2009]] version only increased illusion health, but added 4 more ranks on the actual skill, rather than separating it over 3 different ones. In this version, it seems likely the number of images probably can be increased through the use of [[rune|skill runes]].
''Hide this section unless there really is some trivia about the skill. Add the skill to the [[:Category:Easter Eggs|Easter Eggs]] category as well if the article contains Easter Egg information.''
