Prismatic Force

[LeahLuong]

It seems like the prismatic guards summoned by scroll of prismatic image don't benefit from the hero's use of a ring of force as their primary weapon. I was typically dealing 30-40 dmg w/ a +6 ring while the guard was only managing single digit #'s. Mirror images don't seem to have this problem as they were dealing much more substantial dmg (I saw 1 do 29).

Prismatic images copy the player's armor instead of their weapon, and do a set amount of damage (which is fairly low). That's the main tradeoff versus mirror images, which use the player's weapon but are otherwise fragile.

Then shouldn't this disadvantage be documented in the description for the Scroll of Prismatic Image (especially since it'd affect our decisions to craft a Scroll of Mirror Image into one or not)?

"This prismatic image acts as a weaker clone of the reader, with similar defence but lower hp and damage."

and

"Prismatic images will attempt to seek and draw focus from enemies, using their enhanced defense and health to protect you. While they do not have the same offensive power as mirror images, they have enhanced durability, including receiving benefits from your armor."
