Talk:Larcenous Strike

Feedback 2016/04/26

Larcenous strike has boon priority and does not steal boons randomly. The order is: Retaliation, Aegis, Protection, and then anything else. --Moriz0 (talk) 01:05, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Order of boon removal

I've tested the order of boon removal and it IS Stability, Fury, Resistance, Quickness, Protection, Swiftness, Vigor, Aegis, Might, Retaliation, Alacrity and Regeneration. To see that it does indeed remove stability and fury first and not aegis, see for example this screenshot or test it yourself. Note that we're only talking about Larcenous Strike here, the order on Bountiful Theft is different. --Alcahata (talk) 16:39, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

Boon removal order may be different against NPCs

Against other players, Larcenous Strike definitely does NOT remove stability first. Perhaps different priorities against NPCs, compared to player characters? --Moriz0 (talk) 22:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

You know, I think I give up. At least for today. Maybe I'll do some more science tomorrow. My current conclusion is: this skill is WEIRD. And it's not random, for a certain golem configuration the boon always get stripped in the same order. If you apply all boons, that order is

• Stability > Fury > Resistance > Quickness > Protection > Swiftness > Vigor > Aegis > Might > Retaliation > Alacrity > Regeneration.

That means if you use Larcenous Strike twice, it will only have Protection, Swiftness, Vigor, Aegis, Might, Retaliation, Alacrity, Regeneration left. And they get removed in the order

• Protection > Swiftness > Vigor > Aegis > Might > Retaliation > Alacrity > Regeneration

Now guess what happens if you apply Protection, Swiftness, Vigor, Aegis, Might, Retaliation, Alacrity, Regeneration directly to the golem. You guessed they got removed in the same order as above since that are exactly the same boons? Guess again.

• Aegis > Might > Protection > Swiftness > Retaliation > Vigor > Alacrity > Regeneration

Screw this I'm going to sleep. --Alcahata (talk) 23:44, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
