Patch	Changes
August 08, 2017	Path of Fire pre-patch: Grim Specter: This skill has been reworked to no longer clear conditions from allies or boons from enemies. This skill now tethers up to 5 nearby enemies, drawing Vitality to the lich. The lich gains up to 30 Vitality per stack for 20 seconds, life-stealing each pulse. Enemy players struck by this skill have their Vitality reduced by an equivalent amount for the same duration.
September 30, 2014	Grim Specter and Marked for Death: Updated the accuracy of skill facts for damage.
June 03, 2014	Updated the skill facts to show the number of boons (9) and conditions (12) removed as well as the maximum number of targets (5). Updated the skill description to better reflect the skill's functionality. Fixed a bug that prevented this skill from removing conditions from allies in the explosion radius.
June 25, 2013	This ability can now be cast while moving. This skill is now unblockable.
April 30, 2013	The Grim Specter now strips boons from enemies and conditions from allies when it reaches its target point instead of only when the missile hits a target.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Grim Specter has been added to the game.
