Patch	Changes
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.
July 16, 2019	Increased the damage reduction per pip of energy from 1% to 1.5%.
August 28, 2018	This trait has been moved from the adept tier to the master tier. Hardening Persistence has been changed to grant a 1% damage reduction instead of toughness for each active energy upkeep point the revenant is spending. It also causes shield skills to cleanse conditions from affected allies.
August 08, 2017	Path of Fire pre-patch: Fixed an issue in PvP where this trait was not granting the proper amount of Toughness when using Facet of Light.
October 29, 2015	Fixed a bug so that the toughness stacks granted by Embrace the Darkness will be properly removed when invoking another legend.
October 23, 2015	Heart of Thorns release: Hardening Persistence has been added to the game.
