Overview
Boon Daredevil is an insanely strong boon support that can provide 100% uptime on Might, Quickness, Fury, Protection, Regeneration, Vigor, Resolution and very high uptimes on Stability, Aegis, Resistance. This means Boon Daredevil can upkeep almost every boon in the game, except Alacrity; making most other supports redundant. Boon daredevil also deals much more DPS than Boon Thief, at the cost of being less forgiving to maintain boon upkeep.
However, it is extremely important to note that Boon Daredevil only works on encounters where a thief can reliably get the Stolen Skill Detonate Plasma. These encounters are as follows:
- Matthias Gabrel
- Mursaat Overseer
- Cardinal Adina
- Statues of Grenth
- And Keep Construct, to some extent.

Usage
The main role of a Boon Thief is to provide almost every boon at extremely high uptimes. This is done by using Detonate Plasma can be acquired.
on the bosses where2 staves are taken to optimize DPS. Detonate Plasma can be used while on your boon duration staff, then swap to your berserker staff to DPS. It is recommended to have different skins on these staves so you can keep track of them easily. If swapping weapons is too much to keep track of, you can just play with the concentration staff at the cost of some DPS.
This build is played the same way as Power DPS, but making sure to use and Detonate Plasma off cooldown.
Encounter Specific Tips
- Use to block the shards from Matthias' vault attack.
- Make sure your teammates are within range of your Detonate Plasma.

- Try to save a charge of Detonate Plasma close to 40% health so that you can give your group Stability
- Critical Strikes is recommended here due to the steal cooldown reduction not being required.
- Make sure to steal Detonate Plasma before entering the split phase.
- Trickery may be required for steal cooldown reduction if your phase times are too fast.
- If the group is spreading out on split phase, have them stay together for boons before splitting up.
