Guild Wars 2

Currently it is “Steal health when triggering a venom. This can only occur once per strike.”

I would like to see this instead.

When you use a venom skill, lay down a radius: 240 “Combo Field: Dark” for 5 seconds, steal a boon when triggering your first venom."

Or just the combo field.

The combo field would give thieves great group support, and allow our melee attacks to steal life.

Or

(the field does nothing but damage.)
Damage (5x): 610
Duration: 5 s
Radius: 240
Pulse: 1 s
Combo Field: Dark

(I will just shove my ideas here, if the field does damage, then stealing boons wouldn’t make sense.)

Mmmm possibly could help out s/p and d/p and p/p if the field does damage stack it with black powder to help the thief out a bit more when you have to go toe to toe in melee range.

It would help everyone and make venom builds to be useful support.
