As the topic says, I found it really annoying that I can’t see the CD of my “Steal” ability when I already have stolen a skill from someone. Can you find a way to fix this issue pl0x? anyone else having this kind of problem? I hate that I don’t know if I have my steal skill ready or not in PvP

I see what you mean but I’ve never had a huge problem with it. I just end up throwing away many of my stolen items once I sense my Steal might be up again.

@ Rayya
He meant that when he stole something that he can’t see the cooldown of the original Steal skill, because the “field” with the cooldown is being overlapped by the stolen skill ^^
@ OP
I don’t think that steal is that important for the one except of WvW if you run a CnD Mug Backstab build~

I don’t really see why this is needed. Just use the stolen skill. What are you holding onto it for?

I hold onto mine often. Some are better in situations. Also, holding onto it for the 45 secs means you can use 2 stolen items back to back, basically gaining an additional stolen item for a harder fight.

I like the OP’s idea. +1

Hah. A true thief is one with the stealth

If i steal from a thief, i generally save the stolen item so i can stealth and hopefully activate the backstab animation and steal again for some burst damage. But, as the op pointed out, this is usually guess work and sometimes just results in a wasted opportunity as my steal may not come off cooldown until the stealth has expired.

More information about our skills is always useful and i can’t see a reason not to provide the cooldown time.
