I’ve noticed for some time now that Boon ripping is more of a priority thing.

i.e on opponents who pop Stab, you will most likely steal stab over all other boons. Same with aegis.

I’ve only really tested this with the boonrips that thieves have (bountiful theft, infiltrators strike).

Always annoying to fight against an opponent with might stacks, fury and swiftness, and only only steal fury and swiftness. (this happens every single time, Might isn’t a priority for boon rips)

It is dependent on the skill. Necromancers would kill to have stability remotely high in our removal priorities.

Initially, I think a LIFO system for condition removal and boon removal would be nice.

Though if there was some documentation on the priority of each skill, it would at least eliminate confusion.

It’s hard to believe that over three years after the game’s release, it’s not 100% clear how boon removal is done. Is there priority for certain boons? If so, what is the priority list? Or is it the newest (or the most recently refreshed) boon that goes? I always thought it was the latter, but it’s hard to tell since the order in which boons are displayed aren’t changed when you refresh them before they expire.

There is a prioritization somewhere. I think if it is unblockable aegis is the first one removed/converted. I do know stability is 5th in the priority list.

It is completely clear how boon ripping priority is done. There are lists out there for what boons each skill prioritizes.

would be great to see a list/resource. Have any links?

There is the list for Necro skills, minus Necrotic Corruption (which is random if it removes boons anyway).

There is a priority for every single skill. Those priorities tend to be somewhat “grouped”, as in corruption skills seem to have similar ones to each other, steals are somewhat similar, etc. But overall you basically need to have a guardian + the person removing boons and about 10 minutes per skill, and go through and test every single skill you want to know. It is absolutely annoying though that there is no in-game method of seeing this, we really need an “advanced” tooltips option, or this needs to be publicized by ANet and put onto the wiki at the very least.
