The other 10' was going to be spent moving in that direction anyways.Gust takes an extra 5' side step out and a 5' side step to get back to you = 10'. Of course, that only counts if you are their target. But you can reposition it for next turns.Still irrelevent. Dex scaling protects you exactly the same amount without it as much as it does with it.With 1 dex, it can absorb 3 attacks.With 100 dex, it can absorb 3 attacks.Which is the biggest downside. The fact that it can be wasted.Enemies see you protected and can simply ignore you until it's gone. Or you can cast it, kick down a door, and fine no one on the other side.Nope.You spent 1 action and a level 2 slot to block block 3 attacks.They spent 1 action and a level 2 slot to make 3 attacks.However, there's a good chance at least one of their first-turn sorching rays will land an extra 0.5 damage compared to your firebolt (a bit pedantic, yes. But magic missile won't work because you both have shield).Also, mirror image only works if you know when the gates will open ahead of time. If you cast it, and there's a minute delay, you're out your slot.If mirror image is effective the next round, that means it wasn't the first round.It's 3 attacks max, no matter how you cut it.Stiill a flat 3. Though you are correct that it makes it easier to not waste.Perhaps a more poinent point would be that damage-per-attack scales. A kobold does 5 damage (*3 =15), a black dragon does 19 (*3 = 57).I'll move it up to blue.</blockquote>
