Talk:Mantra of Recall

From Guild Wars Wiki

i know this used to be used a ton but what made it so great in the pre-nerf days? better nrg gain or what? 205.188.117.205 21:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

The energy gain was slightly higher, although I don't think it was much different. This skill was primarily used by monks that used the old Boonprot build. It basically revolved around maintaining Divine Boon on yourself and keeping this enchantment up all the time for energy to counter Divine Boon's penalty. -- Luigi (T/C) 21:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Originally you would gain 15 energy at 0 inspiration. Ahhh~ the good days. Secksy 04:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

WTB buff. who the heck runs this these days? even for it's original purpose ( cast this -> cast spells -> energy back ) it sucks compared to non elite combo's ( Signet of Recall + Ether Lord + Drain Delusions ) .. 86.91.141.232 11:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

You just answered your own question: you need a combo to do what this skill can do all by itself. 145.94.74.23 10:26, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

This skill was kinda fun on boon monks back in its heyday. Pretty lackluster now, though -- it gains no benefit from HSR mods, an enchant mod is actually worse than useless, and aside from having a very high energy cost compared to similar skills, it provides very little energy overall. To be honest I wouldn't take it even if it was non-elite. --Jette 10:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

In short: this skill has been passed by other skills thanks to power creep. Dark Morphon 11:23, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Of course, given that Ether Prism is useless to non-Elementalists and Offering of Blood requires a rather hefty Blood Magic investment and shouldn't be used under pressure, Mantra of Recall is still quite nice for a Mesmer during longer battles. Plenty of good spells in Inspiration Magic, anyways, so it's no burden on those who want to stay as a Mesmer instead of just a Fast Caster that goes with their secondary for everything else.71.7.134.208 12:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
