Thief steal

Steal seems odd to me. I know you are supposed to steal an ability from someone or something but it seems cumbersome to have to mouse over it to see what the ability does… maybe im doing something wrong but i am new to being a thief.
Once you do it enough and know the class you are stealing from, you will know what the abilitiy does just by looking at it.

I appreciate the semi-snarky answer. I believe you meant this: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Category:Stolen_skills
In any case, it doesn’t tell me from which champ they come from. My fault for not being more specific.
Similarly, navigating gw2db.com for this question isn’t efficient. The page on “steal” doesn’t link to abilities, and the abilities themselves don’t say where they come from.
For example,
http://www.gw2db.com/skills/8247-steal
or
http://www.gw2db.com/skills/16129-whirling-axe
If anyone knows, what I would like is to know what skill I am going to get from each class in PvP.
Sorry, on my phone at work so this is not my most beautiful post.
Thief: A 3 second stealth (throw tuff or something like that)
Warrior: Whirling Axe, spin around evading attacks and doing dmg for a few Seconds
Elementalist: Ice shard, small duration chill w/ some low dmg
Engineer: throw gunk, poisons, bleeds, and creates an ethernal field
Guardian: Forget what It’s called but is a small daze
Ranger: Plants a tree which gives regen, cures conditions, and creates a regen field.
Mesmer: Gives you all the boons for 10? Seconds
Necro: 3 second aoe fear.
Hope this helps, the times on all of those may be wrong but that’s the general abilities. Hope this helps!
dragonskin’s answer is (more or less) correct for stolen abilities from other players in PvP. couple of minor corrections/details
Elementalist: the chill is not short duration, it is long duration (10 seconds, one of the longest in the game)
Guardian: the daze is 4 seconds long.
I copied the list from somewhere online. My understanding is that you have a chance to get one of 2 items from another player in sPvP, though many of these I’ve never gotten, so I’m not certain that’s accurate anymore. For example, I’ve only ever gotten the Boon item from the Mesmer and the Healing Tree from the Ranger, but I believe I have gotten both Gunk and the Fear from Necromancers.
Let me know if this is outdated:
Thief:
• Blinding Tuft: 3s of stealth and blinds nearby foes.
• Drink: Take no direct damage for 3s after using this spell. Long cast time.
Necromancer:
• Skull Fear: 3s AoE fear with a short cast time.
• Throw Gunk: Throw AoE effects/damage
Warrior:
• Shoot Rifle: Knockback + Damage
• Whirling Axe: AoE damage while moving
Engineer:
• Rusty Scrap Strike: 10s of Bleeding and Poison with 13s of Weakness
• Throw Gear: 2s stun, 900 range with long cast time and a long travel time
Mesmer:
• Consume Ectoplasm: Get all the boons in the game for 10s
• Torch Strike: 10s burn + damage
Elementalist:
• Ice Shard Stab: A melee range 10s Chill.
• Use Scepter: 50% chance for 2s melee stun – 50% chance for 10s AoE burn
Guardian:
•Use Staff: 50% chance for ranged 1s stun to 3 targets – 50% chance for fireball with 5s burn
•Mace Head Crack: 4s daze + damage.
Ranger:
•Healing Seed: Combo Field: Water, pulses 5 times, gives Regeneration and removes 2 conditions with every pulse.
•Throw Vine: Throw a vine that immobilizes your target for 5s
Negative, they changed the stolen abilities to only 1 per profession.
And thank you Meta, doing that while working retail was a bad convo. I’ll edit
OK, I was thinking they might have changed it to one item per profession… but I swear last night while I was playing, at some points I had the Necro fear ability, and at other times I had “Throw Gunk”.
Does the gunk come from maybe the necro pets? It’s possible I mistakenly targeted one of them when I hit Steal.
