Version history

Version	Changes
3.19.0	Bone, Ivory and Fossilised Spirit Shields are now found with a Minions deal increased Damage Implicit modifier (previously increased Spell Damage), and can roll Minion-related modifiers. As a result of these Implicit modifier changes, the Manastorm Unique Shield is now a Lacewood Spirit Shield, and the Kongming's Stratagem Shield is now an Ancient Spirit Shield.
3.11.0	Now grants 30-50% increased Fire Damage with Hits and Ailments against Blinded Enemies (from 30%), and has 250-300% increased Energy Shield (from 80-120%). The Fog of War skill that is triggered when a trap is triggered has also been improved, with a larger radius and a cooldown of 1 second (from 3).
3.1.0	No longer creates a smoke cloud when a socketed trap is triggered. Instead, grants the "Fog of War" skill, which creates a smoke cloud when any of your traps are triggered. This skill has a cooldown.
2.1.0	Introduced to the game.
