Overview

Boon Thief 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 Thief can upkeep almost every boon in the game, except Alacrity; making most other supports redundant.

However, it is extremely important to note that Boon Thief only works on encounters where a thief can reliably get the Stolen Skill Detonate Plasma. These encounters are as follows:

• Matthias Gabriel
• Mursaat Overseer
• Broken King
• Cardinal Adina

This build comes in two variants, a Diviner variant and a Heal variant.
