Guild Wars 2

I`d just like to share an idea i had about a rework/improvement for the steal abilities and the mechanic overall.
What if, instead of steal giving us only one stolen ability it gave us 3: an offensive one (F2), a defensive one (F3) and one that provides utility (F4), and we would choose only one of them to use in that situation, or 2 with the use of the Improvisation trait.

For example, for warrior`s stolen skills in adition to having whirling blades, an offensive skill, we could also steal a shield and use shield block, for defense, or steal a warhorn and provide our allies with boons.
All other proffesion`s stolen skills would follow a simillar pattern, but going with their individual themes.
Of course the skills would be rebalanced to make the choice between the 3 meaningfull.

I came up with this because some of the stolen skills are not wery usefull against the class theyre stolen from, and some are wery situational. I think it would make thief a more usefull and fun to play.

Id just be happy if they changed Engi’s stolen item as well as ele’s. (Engi is worse tho)

I like the engie steal. it should just last a wee bit longer and have a slightly larger area of coverage.

The AOE should be 240 and it should last 4 seconds.

Yeah to me, its the most useless one. The field is nice I guess but doesnt help me much, if at all. If it immob’d then I would love it.

Ugh the ele steal item is a useless disaster. I absolutely hate this steal skill and would love to see changes to it. Here’s an idea for it

How about the steal item gotten is determined by which attunement the ele will be atm. For eg.

If air – a stun skill
If fire – a damaging skill.
If earth – bleed + cripple.
If water – a small heal + cleanse 1 condition.

I kinda like this idea.
