Development
Mantra of Healing (as Holy Aura) was first revealed at BlizzCon 2010 as a Tier 3 skill but had never been seen in gameplay.
Before the July 2011 Press Event, Holy Aura was renamed Mantra of Healing. Skill tiers were also removed, and Mantra of Healing became a level 14 skill.
Nerfed Post-Release
This skill was considerably overpowered upon release, and was nerfed in a patch a week after release.[2] That "hotfix" lowered the bonus healing for 3 seconds after the cast from 4x to 2x. Boon of Protection was also nerfed and eventually replaced by Boon of Inspiration.
The main problem with this and some other Monk defensive effects was the possibility of a party of four Monks repeatedly casting them in a coordinated cycle. This could provide essentially infinite protection, as the 3 second bonuses after each casting, rotated between four monks, effectively negated the 12 second cooldowns built into the skill recasting timers.
Beta
When the beta started in September 2011, Mantra of Healing remained a level 14 skill. The skill system was once again overhauled for the Beta Patch 13 in February 2012, and Mantra of Healing was classified as a Conviction skill and moved to level 21. For Beta Patch 14, the "Conviction" category was renamed "Mantras" and Mantra of Healing was bumped up to level 26.
