Guild Wars 2

I was wondering after the release of this new patch, if there are any good Mantra builds for PvE? Possibly tPvP/ sPvP. Ive always found Mantra spells to be interesting from a gameplay and lore standpoint.

Mantra builds always have been and still are meta for PvE. Take a look at the stickied dungeon guide for the builds.

For spvp/tpvp there is a mantra section in the stickied build thread. Most of it should still be up to date hopefully.

Ok thanks a bunch guys! Ill check it out.

Mantra full dps build is 6/6/0/0/2,
for reflection uptime and damage 6/4/0/4/0,
for reflection burst I’d say 6/6/0/0/2 too,
and for reflection and AoE now 4/6/0/4/0.
If there is no use of brining any mantras, 4/4/0/6/0 for reflection,
5/4/0/5/0 for damage if phants die fast + reflection,
4/6/0/0/6 for phantasm dps.

But in the end there are so many thing you have to think about before picking a build. Do you need reflection, spike, uptime? Do phantasms survive? Do you need AoE, interrupt, do you use 2+ mantras? Yea, much stuff to think about as a mesmer ^^

Ah, yes Xyonon but why stop at 4/6/0/0/6 for your phantasm dps ? Why not go the full hog with 6/6/0/0/6 ?
Then as the latter part of your post suggested, the devil really would be in the detail.

All jokes and the typo aside, our choices are pretty much as you stated it in your summary.
