August 27, 2012 Patch Notes
Emma Frost Adjustment
 * Passive "Organic Diamond" no longer procs Diamond Form when another character Protects an attack
 * Organic Diamond no longer defends against psychic attacks. This should help Emma vs. Emma fights.
 * Several changes to Mental Anguish
 * Is removed after any action that is not a Quick Action
 * This means if someone rests, but gets extra turns later, they will not have to rest those extra turns as well
 * This also means that if someone takes damage from the Mental Anguish, they will not take additional damage on extra turns
 * Still cannot be cleared by using a quick buff such as Hawkeye’s Pinpoint Target
 * Now produces Mental Scarring if the target takes damage, making that target immune to Mental Anguish until their next turn
 * Now deals consistent damage against targets with different health
 * Unlock Potential now correctly removes debuffs only when first applied instead of preventing new debuffs from being applied

August 17, 2012 Patch Notes
Emma Frost Rebalanced
 * Initial damage on Psychic Tap has been rebalanced
 * A majority of the damage caused by Psychic Tap comes from the Mental Anguish debuff, which is not reflected in the damage on the tooltip
 * Mental Anguish no longer stacks and does not trigger on counter-attacks
 * Damage for War Diamond was brought in line with other attacks that cause stun
 * Mental Trauma damage was reduced slightly
 * Despite these reductions Emma Frost is still performing very well damage-wise and she is seeing heavy use in both PVE and PVP

 * Does not trigger counter-attacks (Infiltrator’s Class Bonus, Daredevil’s Radar Sense, Luke Cage’s In your Face, etc.)
