Notes

Anomaly:

The stealth granted by this trait provides percentage healing to downed allies.

• The cooldown applies to the stealth you gain and apply to allies when reviving. The personal healing upon entering stealth does not have a cooldown, it's only gated by the need to exit and enter stealth again.
