Guild Wars 2

So Mesmers got a recent buff where the cast time of Mantras got reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds. This is welcome, but a side effect of this was that my Mesmer no longer does the little chants when activating the Mantras (“Agony, Torment, Pain!” etc.) Does anyone else miss these and want them back?

Yep really miss the sound for mantras, particularly Mantra of Distraction. Made my mesmer sound more…mesmery. Please bring them back!

I still hear them every so often (maybe it’s a bug.) IMO they sounded awfully cheesy and the chants were one of the main things keeping me from even using mantras so I am glad they reduced the frequency of the voice playing, but then again I do play a female Norn, so I have no idea how it sounds for other races/genders.

Happy they are gone. It is just too kitten cheesy to immerse.

Now if only they could silence For Great Justice…

I was wondering why my mesmer wouldn’t say anything anymore when casting mantras. Also Prayer to Lyssa seems to have been silenced.

I miss this a lot.

I didn’t use mantras much anyway, but that was the main selling part.
Mantra of Resolve had a kitten (good) line.
