[[Illusionist]] is much the same as a [[MirroredBoss Modifier]]. The Illusionist creates numerous clones of itself, usually 5 or 6 at a time, which all act exactly like the original They seem to have very few hit points and will die almost immediately against AoE damage, but they attack just like the bosses found on Champions and can look very intimidating, especially as ranged attackersBosses in Diablo III.

The Illusionist property works very much like the Wizard's [[Mirror Image]] skill, with multiple copies creating visual havoc, but not doing any actual damage.  '''Illusionist'''* '''Monster Level Minimum: 25ish.'''14* '''Available to: '''Bosses and Champions.* '''Damage Type: Varies'''N/A.* '''Additional Resistances: '''None.   ==Strategy== The property functions largely as a distraction, since the illusion versions do not deal any damage with their attacks. However, since they look identical to the "real" monsters, it's hard for a player to know which ones to ignore and which ones to watch out for.  This is especially true with enemies that fire projectiles, such as the Desert Wasps seen in the screenshot to the right. The Illusion wasps have a silvery glow that gives them away, but their tiny wasp projectiles are identical to the normal version, requiring a player to dodge them all just to be sure. Though Illusion versions do not do damage, they have physical mass and can serve as obstacles, blocking characters from moving to or escaping from the real monsters.   ==Development== The modifiers that evolved into [[Horde]] and [[Illusionist]] seem to have shared properties during development. During Blizzcon demos in 2008, 2009, and 2010 modifiers called [[Doppleganger]] and [[Mirrored]] were seen, each of which seemed to encompass some elements of both Illusionist and Horde.  Only through continuing play-testing did the developers arrive at the precise and different versions of these two similar abilities in the final game.    ==Media==
