Can someone explain to me the mechanics of Paragon Echo skills?

Thanks.

Basically if the condition is fulfilled before the spell ends then it is as if it was cast on you again.

Think of it like a form of shout.
A latent shout. You cast it, and it is just there. You get the abilities if they're not conditional, otherwise, you must use other shouts/chants in order to trigger them. Each time you trigger them, they work again and again and again.

For example:

Mending Refrain:

20 seconds, target ally (even you) have +3 hp regen. You get that right away. This echo, that gives you the regen automatically renews itself, each time a different shout or chant ends on you, but not other echos. So if you use Mending Refrain and "Watch Yourself!" together, and simply attacked things, your Echo would probably never end and thus you'd have +3 hp regen constantly, just like a free mending, so long as you keep using Watch Yourself! because that is a shout and when it ends, it renews your Echo.

Now apply that to the other echos and look how many you can make "renew" off just a single shout. Around 4 echo skills can be triggered every 5~6 seconds with Watch Yourself! .... which is pretty insane.

wammos do not scare my dervish

So... am I being mislead to believe that a team of a few echo-paras will have like 10 echos going?
Granted they all have different shouts n echos?

Im afraid of echos... i havent really played paragon yet... Ima check out echo+beastmastery tonight i think.....
