Overview

Boon Daredevil is an insanely strong boon support that can provide 100% uptime on

Might,

Quickness,

Fury,

Protection,

Regeneration,

Vigor,

Retaliation 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 on the bosses where

Detonate Plasma can be acquired.

2 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 Daredevil - 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.

Mursaat Overseer

Critical Strikes is recommended here due to the steal cooldown reduction not being required.

Cardinal Adina

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.
