Boon Daredevil is an insanely strong boon support that can provide 100% uptime on {{tooltip|Might}}, {{tooltip|Quickness}}, {{tooltip|Fury}}, {{tooltip|Protection}}, {{tooltip|Regeneration}}, {{tooltip|Vigor}}, {{tooltip|Resolution}} and very high uptimes on {{tooltip|Stability}}, {{tooltip|Aegis}},{{tooltip|Resistance}}. This means Boon Daredevil can upkeep almost every boon in the game, except {{tooltip|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.

Focused on: Boon support

Designed for: Raids

Difficulty:
TBD
This build was last updated on February 12, 2022 and is up to date for the October 8, 2024 patch.

Overview

Boon Daredevil is an insanely strong boon support that can provide 100% uptime on Might Might, Quickness Quickness, Fury Fury, Protection Protection, Regeneration Regeneration, Vigor Vigor, Resolution Resolution and very high uptimes on Stability Stability, Aegis Aegis,Resistance Resistance. This means Boon Daredevil can upkeep almost every boon in the game, except Alacrity 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 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 Swipe on the bosses where Detonate Plasma Detonate Plasma can be acquired.

2 staves are taken to optimize DPS. Detonate Plasma 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 Build:Daredevil - Power DPS, but making sure to use Swipe and Detonate Plasma Detonate Plasma off cooldown.

Since making detonate plasma 5-target instead of 10, and condi boon daredevil being higher DPS, there isn't much reason to run this any more.
