Version history

Patch	Changes
October 05, 2021	Fixed a bug causing duration-stacking boons to be affected by a hidden stack limit of 9, which in some cases could come into effect before stacking to that boon's expected duration cap. This resulted in some boons having a lower total duration than expected. This hidden stack limit has been removed for duration-stacking boons that also have a maximum duration—alacrity, fury, protection, quickness, resistance, resolution, swiftness, and vigor.
May 11, 2021	Resolution has been added to the game. The Retaliation boon has been renamed Resolution. Incoming condition damage is decreased by 33%. Stacks duration. Unless otherwise specified, skills and traits that formerly granted or used retaliation now use resolution.
