Invisibility (916)

[Winter]

Does this have any real mechanical use or is it now just fluff and for DR heist which is a pay event. Compare it to the other lvl 16 class spells.

I dont guess i've put much thought into it, but 715 is mostly junk and 615 also.. so the surrounding spells are on level and 917 beats 717 until you can ward with great success 617 is cool and all but it's not on par with 917 or 717 at all

715 is really good. It's a guaranteed -25 TD debuff that doesn't require warding to achieve. That is huge because it's the only such ability in the game. If you crank your CS high enough you stop needing it, but while leveling (such as starting a new hunting area above you), against ancient/grizzled, and a lot of sorcerers find use for it in Hinterwilds.

916 is not a good spell at all and hopefully they just make being invisible an innate wizard FEAT and put a real spell in that slot one day.

I never use 916 for anything other than RP. However, it is kind of fun to play around with. Since they added custom spell preps one of my characters causes a small thundercloud to form. Looks fun when i'm invis.

Would be cool if the spell was more useful other than RP tho.

I guess if you want to spy on people and watch them cyber or something it could be useful. Good luck staying invisible in front of a kobold or anything though even when capped.

I use Invisibility all the time to hide out while I rest or squelch my spellups and noisy ;foreach commands. That said, pretty much completely useless in the field. They aught to make it synergize with Stalk/Hide so a 1x S/H wizard with Invis and some lores can hide in combat with some reliability. Maybe some light DS pushdown and weighting if paired with sufficient Ambush training. Wizard bolt AS is probably too high for balanced ambush bolting, but it's probably fair for weapon attacks since they can only 1x. In other words, just go ahead and buff my warmage, np right?
