Build Specifics

Mantra skills are cast in a cone in front of you, so position yourself appropriately to apply boons and healing to your allies. Mantra charges cast instantly and do not interrupt other skills, so use them while casting other skills to maximize efficiency.

Use Potent Haste and Restoring Reprieve to apply to allies in front of you:

• Restoring Reprieve, however, should only be used for every 7 seconds due to Liberator's Vow's internal cooldown.
• All charges of Potent Haste should be used when your group is stacked as the cool-down of Mantra of Potence is shorter than waiting on your charges to recover while also giving even more quickness and might with the final charge.

Different utility skills can also provide via Stalwart Speed depending on the encounter requirements:

• "Stand Your Ground!"
• "Advance!"
• Shield of Judgment
• Protector's Strike
• Hallowed Ground
• Mantra of Liberation
• The final cast of Mantra of Solace.

This combo can help quickly build up for your group:

• Tome of Courage
  • Stow Tome
• Holy Strike

Use your symbols off cool-down as they pulse healing via Writ of Persistence and apply boons.
