Skills And Attributes That Affect This Combat Art
Usage Strategies
- Great for completing any non-escort quest including main storyline.
- Once a player has 100% invisibility, they may use any Combat Art with immunity (see note about summons in "Cons').
- Once a player has 100% invisibility, stealth cannot be broken by the use of any ranged weapons,and will continue to operate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- At level 25 a player will have 100% invisibility if Creep and Fade modifications are chosen.
- Allows completion of any non-escort quest easily
- Allows a player to open boss chests without having to engage the boss
Cons
- While Shadow Veil is active, any quest escort will receive all aggro from enemies.
- If a players uses Rallied Souls or Nether Allegiance, any damage that a player's summoned creature suffers from an enemy AoE spell or via reflected damage, will also damage the player. This also includes any quest NPC's a player is escorting.
