<DIV>our invis was always 12 hours while other classes had 15 minutes or so invis, I hope it dont mean classes like fury or chanters get a full speed invis while we are left with the crawl</DIV>

<P>From what I understand of BGs post is all sneak/invis will not have a movement penalty (e.i. we will not crawl while sneaking, and neither will anyone else).  However, the movement enhancement from Pathfinding and other buffs will not be active when we sneak.  Also if you have a debuff on you from a mob, such as a snare, those will be affecting you.</P> <P>Hope this helps.</P>

<P>Was very glad to hear this last night. I doubt our duration will get touched (this is an innate class ability, not a spell) and I don't really have any problem if someone can sneak at the same speed I can. The differences will lie in the effectiveness of the stealth / invis and the duration of the condition. </P> <P>In short, I'll just say WOOT!!!</P>

<DIV>The concentration cost of stealth and invisibility spells has been removed.<BR></DIV> <DIV>Not sure I agree with this part...You SHOULD be concentrating to keep yourself stealthed/invis......But ok.  We'll see how it goes.</DIV>

Yes all very nice, but not much cop when most mobs higher than you can now see through invis. I can't get my shard cos the mobs in the Maj Dal tower of Blades are orange to me.  :smileysad:
