Guild Wars 2

Not certain whether it has always only swapped 3 but the tooltip never stipulated a cap before. Have just noticed this today when explaining the slot skills to a friend leveling a mesmer.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this has received a nerf? Couldn’t find anything in patch notes.

Cheers

I also saw this today when I was talking to a guildy how easy would be to disable his engies boons and then I checked the description and saw the “3”. Never noticed that before.

Also, MUST the Mesmer have a condition in order to swap with a target?

I’m calling stealth nerf. I’m certain that i’ve taken all of the boons from a guardian before (more than 3) with it and a guildy of mine said that he has done this multiple times. Getting beyond a joke with the nerfs now.

It’s been like that since release. The first reference I can find is on Aug 16.
Before Aug15 stress test all mesmer’s condition curing skills removes all conditions at once. Anet changed it that Null Field removes 1/pulse, Power Cleanse removes 2/use (2 uses per mantra), Arcane Thievery transfers 3/use.

No, you can steal boon without having any condition, and transfer condition on someone without boon

It’s just a bug, reported a long time ago, no stealth here, just a lingering bug.
