What abilities are affected by Radiance

So the Radiance skill says that your abilities are boosted, but which abilities are boosted?

Radiance skill

Is it just melee? Does it include grenades? What use is this skill on it's own without any upgrades?

Best Answer

Radiance greatly speeds up cooldown times for your melee ability (energy drain, scorch) and grenade. You also drop at least one light orb for every enemy you kill while Radiance is active.

I believe cooldown times are the only thing boosted by the base Radiance ability. I've never noticed any damage boost per grenade or melee ability while using Radiance. It simply lets you use a lot more of them in a short time span.

Edit: ran a quick test last night: hit a dreg with a fusion grenade, then I activated Radiance and hit another dreg of the same level with another fusion grenade. The grenade did the same damage to both enemies. Similar tests with scorch produced the same result.
