I'm more worried about the effects on other NB players.
There's always gonna be that one guy in a zerg spamming Mark, back-to-back GCDs as his 24-man group zergs-down individual players. Previously you could at least play defensively and hope they ran out of magicka, but now they can literally do this indefinitely since the ability is now free.
Legitimate solo/smallscale players, on the other hand, won't derive any benefit from this change. Barspace on such builds is already overcrowded on live.

Zergs will always Zerg dude. If not that... whirling blades spam.
I think the skill is fine as is in 5.0.2.
If you compare to Ele Drain it makes perfect sense.

It’s just a physical eledrain, now if we could just have Staminasteal in there and seal that deal so NB healer gets some unique utility

Stamina characters have much better sustain tools at their disposal than magicka. That's why minor magickasteal was introduced and staminasteal not, to kinda balance things.

Now let's talk about the permenint major fracture/breech that they apply. So a NB puts it on you and you cast purge or extended ritual (both have higher cost) so now all a NB has to do is put it right back on you because it's free. So in the long game NB will always win because now we have to fight them with a debuffs that can never be removed..... Sounds fair imo and nbs say they are not a babied class lolol
