Guild Wars 2

as my title says.

test it on any doll.
Yes, it does at a max of +12% damage from 4 Mantras. But for Mesmers only worth on environmental targets (walls, sieges and towers), since you sacrifice like everything else.
But I’ve also heard that some ppl grow accustom to Mantra builds.

Personally I only use Healing Mantra and switch one other slot to another mantra for special areas. So I prefer using VI/X/VII over XI.

I roll with 3 utility mantras (condition removal, stability, and daze). I cannot use the healing mantra because it feels underpowered and ineffective (what’s the point if I have to use it two times in a row to get a decent heal?).

I really like the utility mantras and they work wonders in WvW when I get up and close with a few foes.

The dmg buff from them is 4% each per the tool tip (assuming that isn’t bugged). So three utility mantras is 12%. Toss in the trait for 3% per illusion, and you can easily sit at 20+% dmg output. Add runes of the scholar and now you’re at 30+%. HUGE!
