Guild Wars 2

Quickness is now a boon that can be stripped, stolen, and corrupted to slow. Because of that,I believe that Quickness penalties should be removed.

I agree. If you can boon strip and get your endurance removed or hindered then this is dumb.

I can only partially agree because of how weak boon hate is to boon generation especially in AoE.

Good point, if its a boon and can be stripped / stolen, remove the penalties!

The classes with the quickness penalities usually don’t have as much boons.

I will not used solo encounters as an example to balance and again AoE cleansing/boon is significantly stronger than their counterparts but I still kind of agree. Engi and thief can maintain good boons on them that’s on top of my head who else??

The other professions that have quickness that comes with a penalty are warrior and ranger. It was in a thread in the ranger subforum where this idea came from.

It sounds fine to remove them it’s just now another boon plus resistance making boon hate even weaker but it deserves it.

Thief have less boons than warriors if you discount that niche etcoplasm that you can only get on mesmer.

Current meta wise only. On topic those skills might lose their “identity” but I still think they need to look at it.
