Guild Wars 2

Iavra.8510:

Though mantras recharging in background was op, especially with the short cd they have.

It wasn’t OP.
You still had to cast each of them afterwards which put you in very vulnerable spot.

I personally had problems with charging healing mantra when fighting hard CC spammers.
And obviously you can’t do anything beyond just running in any direction while casting mantra.

Sagat.3285:

No no they didn’t listen to the QQ at all if they did only CS and PU would have been nerfed. They did a “spin the wheel” over what to nerf to upset mesmers.

Precisely that’s what they did.
Finally Mantra spec became viable and was tested and used by many, because it was awesome.

But like I mentioned in another thread.

Anet cannot tone down a little, they grab a chainsaw and rip apart whole build.

And it’s actually disturbing that such builds like PU condi or d/d ele are left alone or slightly boosted…

That alone shows that diversity in Guild Wars 2 didn’t exist, doesn’t exist and will not exist.
As long as things will keep going as they do of course.
