Why would you want a spellbreaker on your team removing boons when a necromancer on your team could be turning them into conditions?Why would you want a spellbreaker on your team removing boons when a Scourge on your team could not only remove the boon, but also change it into condition and also gain the boon for themselves.

Necromaners have been spellbreakers before spellbreakers were born. Not only can we break spells but also turn them into curse and use them for ourselves.

Warrior: SpellbreakerNecromancer: Spellbreaker, Cursemaker, Spellstealer

Play the real spellbreaker.

The thing is, boon corruption/steal is also way stronger than simple boon rip

The only thing that spellbreaker has that gives them a fighting chance in this comparison is the Winds of Disenchantment.

But you could just use Well of Corruption boosted with traits for something to similar effect.

The only time a boon removal spellbreaker would be more useful than a boon corruption necromancer is when the enemy also has boon corruption necromancer.But that situation is easily averted by having the corruptomencer on your team play skillfully and bait out the converts from the enemy before using the corruption skills himself.

You may have a point, when looked at in complete isolation, but its better to do it without the obvious bias.

Ya I said Spellbreaker needed a rework before release because of this overlap but it didn't really matter what anyone said anyhow. Truth be told though, most Necromancers only care about doing big Condi numbers not actually corrupting boons. So many of them just backline spam marks on recharge, which is funny because they also ask for boon corruption to be added to marks...

My idea was for Spellbreaker's to get a unique debuff attached to their skills that would stack in intensity, reducing the effectiveness of boons on that foe.

There is bias in the stats? I just copy pasted from wiki.

Maybe the last 7 lines are biased.
