The 6 limited pets appears to be doing nothing. The old ability "Illusory Allies" used to wipe aggro and could tank encounters for a few seconds, but in 2024 that is completely non viable. The damage profile of illusionist is currently awful and adding damage to PT could help. The limited pets should do damage. Perhaps they could be copying your group members damage abilities and do damage based on phantom troupes tier so Expert PT the wizard cloned pet would cast expert fireball/rays/Ice Comet etc. and the same for all the other members for its duration.
The Illusionist AA "Illusory Allies" increases Phantom Troupe duration by 5 seconds, but does not increase the Spectral Cast stat buff duration. It should.
Illusionary Mindstorm (Expert) is supposed to lower base reuse time by 42 seconds.
Without any gear and no reuse gear recast of PT is 330 seconds. Casting Mindstorm lowers that to 228 seconds.
With the AA Illusory Allies recast of PT is 300 seconds. Casting Mindstorm also lowers that to 228 seconds.
With the AA Illusory Allies and 100% reuse gear, the recast of PT is 150 seconds. Casting Mindstorm lowers that to 144 seconds.
There appears to be something very wrong with the way the base reuse and gear reuse is calculated for this ability and across all tiers of Mindstorm.
