i used to use Stolen Speed before it was nerfed, and back then it was great (i could res in 1.25 seconds, and i saw it as my new mesmer elite of coice). The nerf was that instead of taking 25% of casting speed form the enemy and applying it to ALL spells, now it takes 25% of cast time and applies it to Spells AGAINST YOUR TARGET. So, my res now still takes around 3 seconds to cast, and my Energy Surge still takes around 1.2 seconds to cast, instead of 1.25 seconds to cast the res, and near 1/2 a second to cast surge on anyone. Stolen Speed was under utilized even before the nerf...why nerf it to make it worse!? It's not like it needed to lose attention...
