Guild Wars 2

Since this June 25th patch buffed stealing and stealing traits, I tried to test some of traits related to stealing. But confused about this trait.

The trait description says "Stealing recharges all skills of one type (venoms, signets, traps, tricks, or deceptions). Deal 10% more damage while wielding a bundle. "

I equiped it and tried on the practicing robots in pvp town, but nothing happens. I mean skills don’t recharge themselves. If I read correctly, that’s what the description says, I think.

How does this trait works?

it recharges one of those groups at random. People that run it like to take a variety of utilities (one deception, one trap, one trick, etc) so that one of them will get the recharge no matter what. alternatively you can go all venoms (or something) and hope for 1/5 free recharges.

as to whether it’s worth taking…even with the steal changes, I’m thinking no. to get your money’s worth with it, you’d have to have a playstyle where you quickly blow all your utilities, then hope that it procs in a way that benefits you. the problem is that for a thief, blowing all your utilities usually means you’re running away, or you’re a sitting duck. not a time that you want to be taking chances with steals.

A random group of skills will recharge. Did you try using several types of skills?
