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.
February 25, 2020	Competitive content update: (Competitive split) Reduced revive pulse of Geyser from 7% to 1%.
December 03, 2019	This trait no longer increases revival speed. Auras granted by this trait are now granted only to the elementalist, and they're now granted at the start of a revival attempt rather than at the end. This effect has a 20-second cooldown.
August 08, 2017	Path of Fire pre-patch: This trait no longer grants an increased revive rate but instead changes the functionality of the Geyser skill, causing it to revive allies in its radius by 7% per tick in addition to healing. This trait now casts Geyser on the elementalist when they begin reviving an ally.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Updated this trait to reflect the introduction of the specialization mechanic.
December 10, 2013	Moved to the Master tier.
December 14, 2012	Applies auras for five seconds instead of 10. Now also increases revive speed by 10%.
December 03, 2012	This trait now applies five seconds of aura to allies affected by it.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Arcane Resurrection has been added to the game.
