Mantra of Recovery +Rune of Altruism
Mantra of Recovery is our most effective way to proc “on-heal” runes like Altruism and Dwayna. The effect will activate when the mantra is initially charged, and will work when you spend the charges aswell. (Note: Cooldown is actually 15 seconds though the tooltip is a dirty liar.)
I’m not a fan of the heal skill “Mirror” but it’s 15 second cooldown perfectly matches those runes.

Okay great, thanks for the info. Yeah i want to try out other heals, i have been using Ether Feast for to long and want to try something new.
Actually, those “on heal” runes trigger on pressing #6. Like when you use melchor’s bluff to swap the signature moves, you get 3 stacks of might. That’s why you get the effects on healing mantra on any action. Healing Mantra (untraited) has a ~ (10+2.75+1+1 =) ~14.75s cycle. Including invisible aftercast, reation time or ping, it also fits “on heal” runes.
Yet, I’ve heard it doesn’t work with racial heal skills …
One thing I noticed about a week ago with Runes of Centaurs is that Anet reverted the nerf to eternal potions. Like I’ll turn into my lightning elemental. Press 6 to go back to my normal form and I get AOE swiftness. Haven’t tried it with the most recent patch. It does seem odd that they would revert what they “fixed” a few months ago.

Thats quite interesting. Is that 6/6 or 3/6?
By 6/6 I’m assuming you mean the rune bonus? Centaurs only has a 6/6 bonus on heals. I have not tried this with other runes like altruism.
Heal runes happen when you hit 6, always. In the WvW jumping puzzle you can get the stealth fountain buff and even though it blanks out all but your #1 skill you can still spam #6 to gain swiftness while running through the puzzle stealthed.
