I didn't merit aura steal yet, because I thought it was lame to steal buff instead of item
Depending on the mob, it's sometimes more beneficial to steal a buff over an item..
Example:
Charybdis, Hard Membrane (Evasion Boost). While chary is generally tanked by piling on EVA to dodge it's high attack rate, the +EVA you get from stealing Membrane would probably do you more good, than anything you'd steal from it.
Serket, Sharp Strike (50% Attack Bonus). A NM that has a hyper timer, the increase of 50% attack (I understand most THF have something like 350-400ATT at 75? I could be wrong) can give somewhere in the region of +150-200ATT, this also lasts for 4min approx, so a good long lasting buff too.
Just a couple of examples where I'd personally rather have Aura Steal than stealing an Item. (My THF only 37 >.> but yeah..)
