Guild Wars 2

Harmonious Mantras says it gives an additional charge. So I cast my mantras and get the 3 charges instead of 2, but without even using the mantras they will loose a charge and go back to 2. Is that intended?

Yeah, I was experimenting with a “Mantras” Mesmer awhile back and had the same problem. It sometimes loses one along the way. I kinda gave up on it since Harmonious Mantras is glitchy; that was an important part of the build. I’ve seen other people mention this as well. The issue goes pretty far back but has yet to be addressed apparently.

Yeah it is a big loss to AoE damage with Mantra of pain, as well as a loss in healing with Mantra of Recovery, and loss in the other mantras as well.
This needs to be fixed. So I hope someone from Arenanet is seeing this post that plays Mesmer and also wants it fixed.

It is a known bug that happens when the character’s level re-scales while walking to different zones in a map.

this has been bugged for months :/, if your toon changes levels due to up/down scaling in a map, you lose the 3rd charge.

I don’t think that person exists.

Also sometimes if you maphop/instance change.

It also tends to happen if you use a tonic.

Just one issues for a long list.

i’ve been playing harmoniously for a while and I only see this issue on rare occasions and only in the following situations:

• When recently transformed through game mechanics, e.g. Thaumanova or Ascalon fractals.
• When recently revived via waypoint or “return to checkpoint” mechanics (as opposed to rallying or being healed by an ally).
• When dropping an environmental or summoned weapon.

The vast majority of the time, I get 3 charges for each mantra and those only reduce when I invoke the mantra.

25.04.2015 still able to confirm that.
possible solution: dont use full mantra specs at all, cos it makes absolutely no sense using an already “weak” spec. unless u just do a few worldboss events per session, where it doesnt matter at all what spec u use…
