Patch	Changes
October 01, 2019	This skill no longer reduces the duration of incoming conditions. Instead of removing 3 conditions from allies when cast, it now removes 1 condition from allies and 1 additional condition every second the skill persists. Fixed a bug that prevented this skill from being properly extended when Master of Consecrations was equipped.
July 30, 2019	This skill now uses different effects depending on whether the caster is an enemy or an ally.
December 12, 2017	Burning has been adjusted from 3 stacks for 5 seconds to 2 stacks for 8 seconds.
August 25, 2015	Updated the underwater version of this skill to be self-targeted instead of ground targeted.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: This skill now applies 3 stacks of burning for 5 seconds. Consecrated Ground is now baseline. Consecration skills use ground targeting.
September 09, 2014	Added a Number of Targets: 5 skill fact.
November 26, 2013	Updated the skill fact to show the correct condition duration reduction (33%).
October 29, 2013	Updated the skill fact to indicate the correct condition duration reduction.
October 15, 2013	Base functionality has been reworked. This skill now removes three conditions from allies in an area effect around the guardian while burning enemies (enemies that enter or exit the flames are still burned). This skill now reduces the condition duration for allies who remain in the consecration areas.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Purging Flames has been added to the game.
