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.

Utility

Skill Variants

• Signet of Malice for a relatively weak but continuous healing effect; good if you do not plan on using your heal skill.
• Smoke Screen can be used instead of Signet of Agility to function as source of blind and projectile destruction; mainly useful on Matthias and Cardinal Adina.
• Impact Strike can be used instead of Thieves Guild wherever CC is needed.

Equipment Variants

If you're confident in your squad's boon requirements, you can use extra berserker gear for increased damage at the cost of lowered boon generation.

Consumables

• • is extremely strong if you maintain over 90% health.
  • for a cheap tradable alternative.

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 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 Build:Daredevil - Power DPS, but making sure to use Swipe and Detonate Plasma off cooldown.
