Version history

Version	Changes
3.10.0	Scorch, Brittle and Sap now all have a base duration of 4 seconds (from 2).
3.9.0	We've added an Ailment Threshold to monsters. In the great majority of cases, the Ailment Threshold matches the monster's Maximum Life. It primarily differs for especially high-life monsters (such as The Shaper), where the threshold is reduced to allow ailments to be applied with hits that wouldn't ordinarily reach the required Life thresholds. The alternate ailments Sap, Scorch and Brittle have a slightly different calculation as they have lower caps on their magnitudes.
3.5.0	Introduced to the game.
