Patch	Changes
August 23, 2022	(PvE only) Damage increase changed from 10% to 15%.
May 11, 2021	Text on many damage-increasing profession traits, runes, and sigils has been clarified to indicate whether they increase outgoing strike damage, condition damage, or all damage, as appropriate.
February 25, 2020	Competitive content update: This trait has been reworked. It now increases strike damage by 10% against foes with a lower health percent than the engineer. Additionally, it causes hitting with explosion skills to heal the engineer for 3 seconds at 202 health per second. This effect does not stack.
August 08, 2017	Path of Fire pre-patch: Big Boomer has been added to the game.
