Markus.6415 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I know i might stand alone here, but does that mean the mantra channel animation is completely gone from firebrand now? Stripping away beautifully crafted skill effects is something i really don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WvW and PvP they still need to charge it manually, with animation intact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The really interesting thing there is that it's a further step in splitting PvE and competitive. Not just changing numbers. Not just changing the associated boons. It's now a significantly different method of operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would already be happy if it went below 2s in WvW/PvP because it's overly easy to interrupt with how long it is currently. Even the Signet of Humility is only 1s.

Ok, what about Mesmers? Am I reading into this wrong or something? No you are reading it right. Anet loves the guard, and much more so than mesmer. It has been since day 1 of balance history. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Signet of Humility is only 1s. I found Mass invisibility (with https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Prismatic_Understanding ) is pretty useful if you play with more than 2 mantra to charge them or just use distortion if you play with only 1-2 mantra. Also reading all the post i need to point out that Mesmer mantra are group support skill not solo support skill so technically you have allies to support you (and give you quickness) while you charge the mantra, people using Mesmer mantra while alone are masochist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how they're used half of the time. If it's truly the issue, then lower the charge time, make them "self only", and update Inspiration traitline to make mantras effect more players then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercurialKuroSludge.8974 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Gotta love Mes mains fixate whining about another kitten spec finally getting QoL, instead of actually focusing on the "We need QoL too" part. Chrono is alrdy the best heal spec in the game due to its flexibility, not to mention how easy to learn, while bad FBs neither heal nor boon, when a bad Chrono can at least camp rifle and heal somewhat (did I mention how busted Warri Staff and Mes Rifle are as Heal weps?). Chrono was literally the meta since HoT up until PoF, never became kitten tier, and its been back to god status since June patch 2023, right before SotO release. Its not Anet's fault most of you are bad at Mesmer and never realized Alac got moved off Wells, nor why you STILL keep running HB in Fractal CMs even tho its been stagnating and just kitten to play when Vomit/NPNG instab is up, whereas Chrono has no such weaknesses. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Calaway.9718 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Mesmers doesn't get it because EmiDotExe always tags Twitch with "MesmerBestClassFightMe" so we need the ammo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopod.4156 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I never use mantras because I constantly forget to charge them, like mantra of pain nice damage and vuln but oh what's this...I forgor to charge it again before I was in combat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
