March 27, 2018	Fixed a bug that prevented cripple tooltips from appearing on the associated skills.
February 08, 2018	Fixed a bug that caused the 25% damage reduction skill fact to appear on greatsword skills it did not apply to.

June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Imagined Burden has been added to the game.
