Shattered Illusions – Mesmer | Under The Pale Tree

Posted on December 17, 2011. Filed under: ArenaNet, Guild Wars 2 | Tags: , |

Another surprise is in the mantra mechanic. A lot of speculation focussed on how mantras or fast casting could be reincorporated into GW2 mechanics, but most of them concentrated on something that was more along the lines of a class special mechanic, possibly a bit like elementalist attunements but… different.
