Patch	Changes
January 13, 2026	Symbolic Avenger: This trait has moved to the grandmaster minor slot, replacing Symbolic Power.
May 11, 2021	Symbol strikes no longer charge the virtue skill-1 passive effect more quickly. Text on many damage-increasing profession traits, runes, and sigils has been clarified to indicate whether they increase outgoing strike damage, condition damage, or all damage, as appropriate.
July 16, 2019	Increased the symbol damage from 10% to 30%. This trait no longer has a chance to inflict burning. Instead it causes symbols to charge your Justice passive effect twice as fast.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Updated this trait to reflect the introduction of the specialization mechanic. Added: Symbols have a 33% chance to burn enemies for 1 second.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Symbolic Power has been added to the game.
