Guild Wars 2

Recently noticed when charging your mantra gets interrupted an extra second is added to the standard cooldown given to interrupted skills. Tested a variety of skills across various professions and I’m still yet to find any others except Mantra’s that have the extra second cooldown when interrupted.
This seems to me like a bit of an unfair addition to the skills, given midcombat they are quite difficult to charge, and possibly the easiest skills in the game to interrupt.
Have they always worked this way? Recent stealth nerf? Possible bug? Or am I just crazy and can’t count? I really don’t understand anets logic on this.

standard CD on interrupts (non PowerBlock) is 5 seconds, are you saying they go on a 6 second CD? easiest way to tell is if you turn on CD timers in your UI.

I’ll go attempt to test this tonight.

I was judging it by the countdown on the skill bar that happen upon the interrupt, mantra’s on this bar appear to start counting down from 5 seconds, but all other interrupted skills count down from 4 seconds, according to the skill bar, I know its all supposed to be 5 seconds according to the wiki.

Idk why this happens to be honest. Its always been that way, even in beta. It should get changed though since mantras still need some love :x

It just seems such an unusual added punishment (hardly gamebreaking, but it makes a difference to full mantra specs) considering how tough it can be to get your mantra charges off in the first place.
