Q:
Mender's Purity
A:
Only on #6 skill. and if it’s the mantra, it’s only when you actually heal with it.
Darn. No comboing it with heal on shatter then.
Yeah, I do kind of like the heal on shatter, but I don’t like it being 30 points in on Inspiration. Either it needs to get bumped to 20 points, or there needs to be another useful trait at 20, since you go 30 points deep and you literally get nothing pertaining to shatters at the 20 point mark (there being only 1 shatter trait at the 10 mark).
It’s kind of silly, but, I guess it goes for healing mantra builds.
I was under the impression that Mantra of Recovery procs on-healing effects when it finishes channelling as well as on every cast. I haven’t used MoRec since it’s unjustified nerf however, so that may have changed.
Mantra of recovery procs all “on healing use” items the same way. Once on the charge, and once on each discharge. Tested extensively.
In my experience, menders purity gives a very large amount of condition removal. If you really need more, you can take mantra of (w/e) that removes 2 conditions per discharge. Alternatively, take arcane thievery or null field, both of which are great at messing with conditions/boons. If you really REALLY need more condition removal, you can also take removal of condition on shatter, which is 30 points deep in inspiration.
If you take Shattered Conditions you don’t need any other condition removal really. IIRC it’s one condition removed per Clone Shattered, you’re basically immune to conditions then if you Shatter often. The problem of course is it’s too deep in Inspiration for Shatter builds to take without sacrificing a more important trait.
I don’t really see how Mender’s Purity can give a “large amount” of condition removal considering it’s one condition per heal and MoRec is rarely worth using. Almost any of the Mesmer’s other condition removal options are better IMO, without making you either waste your heal on condition removal or lose your condition removal when you need to heal.

Generally, if you need to remove conditions, you also need to heal, and vice versa. The trait simply allows you to double-load a single skill into these two actions.

That assumes you need to cleanse Burning or Bleeding. Condition removal is also important for conditions like Immobilise, Cripple, huge stacks of Vulnerability, even Confusion, etc., which frequently might not result in any significant HP loss but if not cleansed promptly will be followed by a world of hurt.
Also, when it comes to Poison, does Mender’s Purity remove the Poison before you heal or after? If it’s the latter then it’s definitely not worth using.
I’ve been using Mender’s Purity in almost every build I’ve ever made for WvW. Being able to remove cripple and chills on heal has saved me countless times.
