Developers' notes: One of our goals for 7.2.5 is to give and Parola del Potere: Radiosità a more straightforward purpose and allow for more opportunities to use both based on the situation. Radiance allowing an immediate Contrizione heal on more targets more quickly should help with some of Discipline's difficulties in responding promptly to damage. being an always-available Espiazione applicator without having to constantly evaluate the mana cost should help with overall flow of the spec. - Stella Divina cost reduced by 20%.

Furtività or
