Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	Additional Physical Damage Reduction mods were discontinued from all other rare modifiers so that large values could be provided on Armour-based Body Armour and Shields. (See Version 3.16.0 § Core Character Defences and Recovery for full text) Add more tiers to Flask modifiers on Belts, and move the Flask Effect modifier out of the Influence modifier pool into the base modifier pool for Belts. Essence of Horror no longer grant 5% additional Physical Damage Reduction during any Flask Effect on belt. Instead the essence now grants Gain Alchemist's Genius when you use a Flask. Existing items with the old mod are not affected. (Not explicitly documented in the patch notes, but affected by the above two changes) The Essence of Horror and Elder Quiver modifier that grants Cold Damage per Frenzy Charge now grants 6-8 to 12-13 added Cold Damage per Frenzy Charge (previously 3-4 to 6-7). This does not affect the similar Ring Modifier obtained through Essence of Horror. The legacy Essence of Horror mod 15% increased Effect of Fortify on you has been changed to +3 to maximum Fortification due to the Fortify rework [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.15.0	Essence of Horror can no longer grant 15% increased Effect of Fortify on you on Amulets. It now grants 15-25% chance to Crush on Hit.
3.14.0	The Chill Nearby Enemies when you Block modifier granted to Shields now has a greater radius.
2.5.0	The weapon mod from Essence of Horror now grants a 16% chance to gain a power, frenzy or endurance charge on kill (up from 10%). Old versions of this mod can be updated using a Divine Orb.
2.4.0	Introduced to the game.
