Patch	Changes
October 26, 2021	Multiplicative damage reduction enhancements have been updated to display how much damage was reduced by rather than displaying how much the damage is multiplied by. For example, protection now displays "-33% Damage" instead of "67% damage." This is not a change to functionality; it is only a change to display the bonus in a more intuitively understandable way.
October 05, 2021	All effects that provide a percentage reduction to incoming damage have been standardized to stack multiplicatively.
September 23, 2017	Fixed the fire-aura skill fact when the One with Fire trait is equipped.
January 26, 2016	The durations of each aura applied by this trait have been reduced from 5 seconds to 4 seconds.
October 23, 2015	Heart of Thorns release: Unstable Conduit has been added to the game.
