Marked, Add additional effect

[alejandro.2093]

since marked are targeted heavily on stealth,

can they add one more effect,

if you are marked, you lose 1 boon every second,

so that target painters can be thrown effectively on blobs as well

1 boon every second lol. So salty im loving it. Now that thief players have to play just like others.

I don't think we can just assume they main thief though but they do bring a good point about the fact of boon spam being prevalent in the game.

I think the marked change was necissary, and i used to play thief and its elites alot aswell as mesmer.

There is no sport in stealthing up and disengaging sooooo easily, it dumbs players down too much.

No one should be able to alone pick someone of from a group and just stealth/disengage again without the group being able to do anything bout it.If one commits to grouped up targets they should expect some resistance.

When deadeye permastealth came into the game i kinda stopped playing my thief, it simply wasnt fun or interractive, it dumbed down my "skill level" so hard for such a long time. Playing as a stealthspammer as well as against them just left a bitter and annoying taste in my face.

I'm totally ok with thieves having neither stealth or boons.

So, every player that is marked? Good luck with that. Any Zerg running past a sentry will lose boons?

Anti boon traps/tricks would be an interesting way to Zerg bust. Lure them with a small group into an ambush.

Yeah, it definetely would have to be somenthing separated from the Marked effect because that means if you get a fight on a watchtower, you are fighting a boonzerg without your boons.

It would be much more fun than having to lure them into that tiny crack hole inside the dredge tunnels hehehe.

Yes because classes that have higher block and excessively more sustain than thief/mesmer is so much more fair and noble right?

For appealing to a broader population they need to have those hand-holding specs and passive mechanics.

They did overdo the marking though, should of been 5s or so instead of 2s that would shut down the perma/long stealth but would keep the rest still usable when marked.

That's a lot qq for a single post. You still have enough tools on thief and mesmer to fight and to escape even when you are "marked!"

Guess having best mobility in the game as a thief/daredevil or permastealth as DE outside of keep/sentryrange is not good enough 99% of the time. totally my bad. kek
