Patch	Changes
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.
April 23, 2019	Chaos Armor: This effect has been renamed Chaos Aura. Fixed a bug that prevented this effect from triggering some elementalist traits.
January 26, 2016	This skill no longer blinds enemies. It will instead apply weakness to them for 3 seconds. The applied duration for swiftness and confusion has been increased from 3 seconds to 5 seconds.
December 01, 2015	The visual effects have been replaced with a new version to reduce visual noise.
May 20, 2014	Increased the culling priority on this effect.
July 09, 2013	This buff now provides an equal chance to trigger regeneration, swiftness, or protection on hit with a 1-second internal recharge. The random condition applied now has a 1-second internal recharge per target.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Chaos Aura has been added to the game.
