Cleansing Flame Guardian
Power trajectory
Since the 2025-09-25 rework: no measurable damage change yet. Before that: PvE +31.4% · PvP +10.0% (3 measurable changes since 2023-03-15)
Best-effort: compounds the 3 of 14 changes with a parseable damage swing; reworks and structural changes reset the baseline to 0, so the headline reads from the most recent reset. Dots link to their patch.
