Guild Wars 2

So, I was looking into using the Mimic mesmer skill – it has been changed to copy 12 boons from the enemy [Note: it does not remove the enemy’s boons].
If used in sequence with Arcane Thievery [swaps 3 conditions for boons], this should double the boon duration/stacks of three boons.
I have not confirmed this, but in theory it should work.

So, using these with a boon build should prove effective.
Other useful skills/traits/items:
Bountiful Interruption – gain might & one random boon on interrupting
Signet of Inspiration – copies all boons from you to other players
Superior Sigil of Luck – Gain boon on killing an enemy
Superior Rune of Lyssa – convert 5 conditions to boons when using an elite skill

I find that its good with condition bunker builds, Dire stats work great, though you should be able to tweak it for a power build if you like.
At the moment I am running 0/0/5/4/5 with staff scepter torch.

Idk… just try it out if you like.

The practical applications of building around stealing/copying isn’t very useful.

The practical application of slotting stealing or copying for a quick fight is plausible.

The practical application of camping Mimic as a utility is only viable for a sustained battle held against a mob such as Andal where he has 6 stacks of Might (this is REAL Might and therefore steal/copy-able).

If you camp Mimic, you can steal 25 stacks of Might and then share it to your party via Signet of Inspiration. If you use Arcane Thievery you only get 3-6 stacks of Might.

Keep in mind, these stacks of Might can and will get overrode by allies granting Might, so be sure to warn your allies of this.
