Guild Wars 2

With the upcoming changes, the FS/LS chain should definitely return to 2 boons stolen.

When the init was 3/1 FS/LS and LS stole 2 boons, it still took 2-3 LS’s (And Bountiful theft) to strip a boon bunker – unless they were standing completely still, that could easily take 15-20 seconds. It served a purpose without being OP.

Now that the init cost has increased (as of patch it’ll be 4/1) And you have to land FS before LS can occur, LS should return to removing 2 boons (or 1 boon strip on both FS and LS)

The question, which I always ask myself is:
Why is LS so good to stealing boons, while BT is crap and vigor the only reason for that trait? And this for two years.

It’s really necessary that they rework BT and make it so strong, that is dangerous enough against builds that use many boons and simultaneous to a good trait, that support your teammembers. ( And not these 5 secs, which you and they can ignore.)
Without to destroy builds, that use only a few, how it LS does before they nerf it last june.

Indeed need LS a changed too.
No boonsteal, but maybe more in the direction of a weapon, that do more damage, the more boons the others have. Inclusive a lower base damage.

The real question here is why is a 1 year old thread necro-ed for something that’s been nerfed for a long while now.
