So, that’s what we thought too. And for Bountiful Theft, that is true. However. They are no where near that high. Swiftness is like 4-5 seconds. And it is only for Bountiful Theft. If you steal with the new trait or Lacerous Strike (sp?) then it will steal all stacks with the full duration that the boon had.

So it is not only not consistent between all boon stealing methods but it is also unclear if there is some default duration.

This is very helpful because it confirmed this seems to be by design. However, it’s terribly unclear and remains inconsistent with other things that are worded verbatim the same. If I was a product lead at ArenaNet, I would still consider this a bug. shruggles

This trait needs a new name because it doesn’t steal. Instead it removes stacks and returns exactly one stack with a fixed time and goes from a predetermined order. If it actually stole boons, thieves would have an easier time in the current meta.
