Patch	Changes
June 24, 2025	This trait no longer inflicts exhaustion when removing cripple. Reduced the exhaustion duration when removing chill from 3 seconds to 2 seconds in WvW and PvP. Increased the effect duration from 4 seconds to 6 seconds in PvE only.
June 25, 2024	Reduced the duration of the exhaustion effect to 0.1 seconds for all conditions in PvE only.
October 26, 2021	Multiplicative damage reduction enhancements have been updated to display how much damage was reduced by rather than displaying how much the damage is multiplied by. For example, protection now displays "-33% Damage" instead of "67% damage." This is not a change to functionality; it is only a change to display the bonus in a more intuitively understandable way.
October 05, 2021	All effects that provide a percentage reduction to incoming damage have been standardized to stack multiplicatively.
March 05, 2019	The duration of exhaustion that this trait applies when dodging is now 2 seconds if crippled is present, 3 seconds if chilled is present, and 4 seconds if immobilized is present. Exhaustion will now be applied when the dodge is initiated.
November 07, 2017	Breaking inhibiting conditions with this trait now causes the thief to lose all endurance regeneration for 4 seconds. Direct endurance gains will still apply the full amount. Swiftness granted by this trait will now occur at the end of the dodge.
October 23, 2015	Heart of Thorns release: Unhindered Combatant has been added to the game.
