Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet posted earlier on Reddit saying they are working on changing the mistlock instability Boon Thieves. Here is the link.

Anet_Ben: “I agree that boon thieves is unfun. We are working on it!”

Currently, this instability on Fractals of the Mist level 80+ steals boons from us. When they steal retaliation it can possibly wipe out the whole party. Which is why a lot of guardians complained about it.

In the meantime, how would you suggest they fix it? Should they change the mistlock instability to something else or would you prefer to see something changed to light fields on Guardians?

I wouldn’t mind seeing a change to (our) light fields, but that’s not the solution to boon thieves. We’d still have the problems with the Virtues trait line and a crapton of our abilities.

They should rework the instability itself, probably along with almost all the others. Social awkwardness is about the only one that feels remotely interesting, anything else is incredibly boring. I remember having seen a list with suggestions for new instabilities a long time ago, the devs should look there to make stuff more interactive.

But any fix will probably take 8+ months …
