How big is the power drain on Invis?

[Fael]

Im curious how much of an effect invis has on ones power.  I guess you cant just run around invis?  Would a Dirges power regen cancel out any loss?Thanks,Mal<div></div>

<P>Wind Walk consumes 82 power initial and 82 power a sec thereafter......</P> <P>No shot a dirge could keep up...42 per tick @ master 1 (level 69).</P>

<DIV>When using out of combat power regen totems, Wind Walk lasts a pretty long time.  With additional regen, such as dirge's, you may cancel out your power loss entirely.  I've never actually tried that out.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Without any additional power regen, the invis won't last too long.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Personally, I prefer power regen totems to chameleon totems for one main reason.  With chameleon, when you break invis you have to use another charge.  With power regen, the buff is only disabled during combat, and you keep the buff for its entire duration.</DIV>

I prefer power regen totems for the same reason.  Bard and chanter power regen buffs will also add to your cumulative regen and could possibly lead to completely nullifying the drain if you heap enough on.  Remember, even if you only have drink or drink+regen totem, you can always just feign death for a bit to 'recharge your batteries.'

Like the above posters said it won't last too long without a form of power regen.  I always use a power regen totem if I know I need to be invis for a sustained amount of time.  With a totem active I can stay invis for a <STRONG>long</STRONG> time.

Thanks much guys.  Im running a pair of monks and a dirge, so was kinda hoping I could run around invis all the time.But I guess it will just be when necessary.Mal<div></div>

Back in my Harclave days I would be able to light all torches and get the super buff and only had to stop once to let power regen. A real quick way to get killing when exp there used to be real good!<div></div>
