After the march 2nd patch where they nerfed Offering of Blood, i decided to try my hand at boon/prot monk with mesmer as secondary prof.

I wanted to see how effective Mantra of Recall was compared to OoB in terms of energy management.

During a RA match i realized that MoR was lasting longer then the 20 sec thats stated in the skill description. Later on i realized that i had missed the fact of MoR being a enchant and not a stance.

With the +20% ench. staff i was carrying, MoR lasted for 24 sec instead of 20. So i had to wait 4 sec longer for energy recharge. That may not seem long but in a tight situation it could mean the difference between a win or a loss.

I guess its sort of a trade off between longer duration for ROF, Aegis, Guardian against slower energy recharge.

Just wanted to know what other ppl thought about this.

-Thanks.

P.S. I'm sorry if a similar message has been posted earlier

Also, don't take Aegis on your boon prot.

Also, take Sig of Devotion, Guardian is trash imho, learn to kite better

I've never liked this skill swap. Guardian and SoD are just too different to be swapped for one another. I guess the argument, in favor of guardian, boils down to me like this:

You can't kite when you're standing for 2 seconds casting Signet of Devotion.
