I will miss the old one! and I am not happy about the change
what i hoped will come
- have the old effect from mimic add 2 or more close allies to it and boom! you protect your group members and yourself for about 4 seconds. Means easier to get the block effect/ reflect and not only for you.
- apply might with each attack on you, that you can make awsome echo at the end
- the echo effect becomes a noncasttime effect from the skill not auto (range or close combat) a opponent used on you
- Activating while you still can use your attack skills
I have my Mesmer also with a tag.
I was commanding in guild-groups (10-20 player) and it went pretty well.
I played different builds most very tanky I ended up with healing on shatter and shattering yourself (about 900 healing without illusion) and i used signets. so 10; 0; 0; 30; 30
Basically you have good support/ survivability because you can give your players around the booms back. E.g. when you have 2 mesmers 1guard and you can have a “perema” booms most of the time more then 1 min protection, reletation …
When you have a good group you can make you combinations easier like S/T leap and blast with water fire freezing ….
The only thing is when you commanding is hard to follow you when you use staff2 blink ….
hope i could help you
:)
Nice improvements with the 400 to 600 toughness (dmg reduction of about 30% while casting really nice)
The change from adapt to master and the cool down to adapt is also nice it can give you a good defensive interrupt build I`ll try it out
But in my opinion you don’t get players to mantras because of these changes. I like playing them because they are instant and you can also play when you’re disabled.
What they really need is a bit more gameplay bit less casting bot.
What i`d lile to see:
effect after reload the mantra(aoe) based on mantra and 2 normal casts for yourself or opponent.
more range for stability and condition remove
more group healing with Inspration X but with cooldown
i also want to see how much 4% dmg for XI duelling is in real
elite mantra (could be TW or Mass Invis…) eg. 2 cast 3or4 seconds tw =9 or 12 seconds with traid
