  • Vile Vials was available during the End of Dragons Beta Event 4.
  • Vile Vials: No longer causes elixirs to apply Slow to nearby enemies. This trait still applies Vulnerability but will do so in the targeted area of the Elixir skill, not around the caster.
    • Fixed a bug causing this trait to not link properly into chat.
