An idea for the Thief's Steal skill.
I’d rather Steal just be a deeper profession mechanic than a simple 45-sec skill and secondary skill on success, with gimmicky burst attached if desired. When I first heard about it, I expected F1 to steal and F2-4 to be “pockets” containing stolen skills, or something similiar. As it is now, it’s extremely one-dimensional. Elementalist, Engineer etc. all feel unique, but Steal feels like a tacked-on utility skill.

That’s actually a really cool idea. I like Steal the way it is, but being able to pick up a couple things would also be cool. At the very least having F1 be Steal and F2 be the power that was taken, such that if you steal again it overwrites whatever was stolen before.

I do have more ideas in relation to Steal, so I’ll make my own thread about it (my last one vanished in to the nether months ago).

If you Trait Steal to deal damage is one of the more overpowered abilities in the game, really.
Do you even lift, bro?
