Guild Wars 2

How about a new Master trait in the Trickery line (so it competes with Bountiful Theft) that transferred two conditions from the Thief to the enemy on successful Steal?

Edit: Actually, when I remember that Bountiful Theft is a guaranteed Vigor even if you don’t strip any boons, I’d also have Return the Favor give a guaranteed 5-10s Weakness even if you have no conditions on you.

Wait, there are other Master level traits that aren’t Bountiful Theft?

In all honesty, this might actually be decent. It’s no boon strip, but for those defensive builds that need some more condition removal, I would definitely suggest this.

If they did do this, they would need to make it work like mesmer’s arcane thievery instead of bountiful theft. If they kept the bountiful theft mechanic, you’d transfer 2 conditions but only 1 stack if they do stack. Nothing quite like blowing a 20+ cd skill to transfer a single stack of bleed :P

If it functioned anything like Bountiful theft, your opponent would only get 1 stack of bleeding rather than the 25 they stacked on you.
