#Make Mantles not disappear after swapping weapons

The 20s cooldown on mantles make it so if you were to swap weapons to heal in a lrs/raids, you get left very vulnerable for a long duration of time. This means you are useless for 20s as engaging in a fight is not worth the risk of instantly dying.

(the same could be said for assassin's clones)

  • another method is to allow mantles to stay for 5 seconds after swapping weapon (leaves enough time to drink a heal pot and swap back)

don’t think this is doable

If it’s not doable to keep the ability when swapping, the obvious alternative is to instead reduce the CD if the ability is removed by a hand-swap instead of usage decay, that way you don’t have to wait the full 20 seconds even if you cancel the ability early but you also don’t stay overpowered by having no cooldown if you swap to heal

Also the idea of paladin shields is your supposed to be blocking damage when activating war scream using your spear
and you also should not have to heal when your shields are up
and also just keep track of your shields cooldown

I like playing around the cooldown and potting only when it runs out

I think theres a serious issue if you need to pot while mantles up

Someone in CT said that they want lingering effects as long as you don't swap to another weapon so shaman and assassin can use potions without losing their clone/totem

#

This was a while ago though, idk if the sentiment remains

yea mantles are kinda there to protect you, if you are low on hp thats your problem not the mantles

  • Use scream (to get mantle)
  • play the game
  • after 20 seconds you use scream again (as you are playing the game) and end up casting mantle to put it on cd
  • realise you lost hp before you casted mantle since you were playing the game and need to use rally/potion
  • switch off weapon to heal
  • try to cast mantle again but it's 15s left on cd

How have none of you experienced this before

#

Maybe I'm reaching but all of you saying "skill issue" to something that would be a real nice qol change is insane

Hmm I dont wanna be the guy that says "skill issue" but if you're low hp you could check if mantle is off cooldown, and if it is, you switch to your rally weapon first and then cast mantle

And this type of yapping may soon perish once the eventual airshout nerf arrives
