captainstar Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 I think the invisibility power should work until, at least, I start shooting at an enemy. If there are any enemies that can still see me, I don't see much difference between stealth and invisibility, then.
Uun Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 For the most part this is true, however, there are certain foes that ignore stealth and invisibility (Rikti drones, Rularuu eyballs, Knives of Artemis). There are also foes that have higher perception (snipers). Invisibility does provide more stealth (55 feet) than Stealth (35 feet), but you need to be aware of which foes can see through it. https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Stealth_and_Perception Uuniverse
Doomguide2005 Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 And 55ft, fyi, is enough to render you undetectable by the vast majority of foes. 35 ft will let you get close but afaik it's not enough by itself to allow you to remain undetected to anything in game (your basic minion will see you 10ft away). The link @Uunprovide will go into much greater detail of what might trip you up.

captainstar Posted November 27, 2020 Author Posted November 27, 2020 I agree, but if the only difference from invisibility to stealth is dictance ... Then I don't think this power should be called "invisibility", it would be better if we called "fancy stealth". 😅

The same isn't true for Stealth. This is partly due to how the stealth and perception mechanics work in this game - it's not as simple as "no one can see me" or "everyone can see me."
