Patch	Changes
October 05, 2021	All effects that provide a percentage reduction to incoming damage have been standardized to stack multiplicatively.
May 11, 2021	The Retaliation boon has been renamed Resolution.
February 25, 2020	Competitive content update: Aura effects have been updated to be larger and more noticeable. The previous, more subtle aura effects are now used for auras on allies and for all characters viewed by PvP spectators when the Effect LOD option is checked in the graphics settings. Effect icons used for auras have been updated for consistency.
August 08, 2017	Path of Fire pre-patch: This skill no longer applies a single stack of vulnerability to someone striking you. It now reduces incoming Condition Damage by 10% in addition to granting retaliation when struck.
September 09, 2014	Light Aura has been added to the game.
