• and can be cast as soon as they are available.
• should be used every 7 seconds to activate and . You can estimate this by looking at the line that moves around the mantra icon as it recharges. Once it starts moving along the top of the icon, at least 7.2 seconds have passed (if you have Alacrity) so it can be freely used again.

can be used to provide a block for your subgroup to prevent damage from some attacks. Try not to overuse it and hamper your Quickness generation though.

Be aware that boons from your mantras are distributed somewhat strangely. They are applied in a cone in front of you and also a small radius around you, but all valid targets within the cone are resolved first. This means that players outside your subgroup within the cone are higher priority than players within your subgroup who are only within the small AoE around you. This means that to reliable apply boons so your subgroup you should aim to be stood slightly behind them.
