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 skill is seen in spell creates a duplicate of the BlizzCon cinematic, in which [[Wizard]] that use Wizard spells to ferociously attack [[monster]]s the Wizard creates 5 duplicatesinstant it appears. The Image's spells don't do any damage, all of which have so it's more like an animated {{iw|Amazon_Passive_and_Magic_Skills#Decoy Decoy}} than a small white circle over their heads{{iw|Assassin_Shadow_Disciplines#Shadow_Master Shadow Master}}. They are not just decoys either; they join But it works like a [[tank]], with monsters attacking the combatImage if it is closer to them than the Wizard, and as anyone who has played artillery characters knows, which makes this seem like a very interesting spell. They also run around on their own accord to find enemies to fighttanking minion (or another player) is beyond value.

In this shot you can see [[Image:Wiz-mirror-image2.jpg|center|thumb|675px|Mirror Image animation sequence in the [[BlizzCon 2008]] Demo.]]  This skill was not used very often during the gameplay at [[BlizzCon 2009]] since the Wizard summoning her five imageswas powerful enough to slaughter most attackers without needing the assistance, who start attacking but the enemyfew times it was used against big groups of monsters, and they act pretty convincinglyit worked marvellously. These attacks deals no damageThe mirror doesn't last for very long, however. they are just mere illusionsusually 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 [[Conjured HealthDark Cultist]] will give s to swarm around to turn them extra into fish in a barrel for [[healthArcane Orb]]s.
==Skill Rank Table==
* '''Rank 1:''' 5 Illusions One illusion for 8 seconds with 20% of [[caster]]'s [[health]]. (projected)* '''Rank 1:''' One illusion for 18 8 with 40% of [[caster]]'s [[manahealth]].Only * '''Rank 1 is currently known:''' One illusion for 8 with 60% of [[caster]]'s [[health]].* '''<span style="colorRank 1:red;">Please note''' One illusion for 8 with 80% of [[caster]]'s [[health]]. (projected)* '''Rank 1:</span>''' In the One illusion for 8 with 100% of [[caster]]'s [[GamesCom 2009 demohealth]] gameplay video, the Wizard used mirror image, producing only one illusion.(projected) 
==Synergies==
* '''[[Duplicate Conjuring]]''' - More images.* '''[[Conjured Health]]''' - Images get more [[health]].None known
==Development==
Spell was first shown at [[BlizzCon 2008]] when the [[Wizard]] was unveiled. It's still assumed 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. 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 available as increased through the use of 6 August 2009[[rune|skill runes]]'''Previous versions:'''* [[Mirror Image (BlizzCon 2008)]]
