Guild Wars 2

Hi Mesmer community. I have a quit question for some of the more experienced Mesmers.

I was curious if Mantras work well in Melee combat?

Like if you build for Melee fighting Mesmer instead of ranged, would mantras still be useful for you?

First off, I am primarily a PvE player;
I hardly ever PvP or WvW.

In my PvE builds, I almost always use my mantras; they provide a very powerful tool. When traited they’ll give you a 4% boost in damage for 8 seconds when you use them, and you’ll have 3 instead of 2 charges (harmonious mantras). This is not mandatory though; even without these traits, mantras are still very viable.
I especially like the ones that provide condition removal and stability.

I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Mantras grant you 600 toughness while you’re charging them, so they’re definitely okay for melee.

Though, unless you’re wielding Sword MH in both sets you should have a ranged option.
