 This [[skill]] creates a duplicate of the [[Wizard]] that 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.

 Mirror Image was still listed at [[BlizzCon 2010]], but it wasn't one of the Wizard's starting skills. Skill tiers were removed for the [[July 2011 Press Event]], allowing skills to unlock steadily from levels 1 to 30. Consequently, all skill levels were adjusted and Mirror Image became a level 15 skill.

 <blockquote>''I didn’t use this one very often during play, since the Wizard was powerful enough to slaughter most attackers without needing the assistance, but the few times I did Mirror Image, against big mobs, it worked marvelously. 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 MI 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.</blockquote>
