Does anybody have any experience of this?
I am merc/traps and I want to remain invisible but I;ve never used the power and the description says you cannot use powers that affect others.
1)Can I still order my henchman around?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes
[/ QUOTE ]2)Does the leadership and supremacy buff still apply when i'm invisible?
[/ QUOTE ]
No. Any power that effects others will not work whilst invisible.
[/ QUOTE ]3)Can I lay traps at all?
[/ QUOTE ]
No. Any power that effects others canot be used.

Unsure about this one.
Maybe Try steatlh? not quite as good as invisibility but you can still use your powers and have a bonus to defense.
Maybe get Grant Invisibility for your pets? If you pvp then no1 can see them coming (without tactics/goggles) and in pve your pets wont agro anything whilst in follow mode.
I have a Necro/Dark MM and Shadow Fall is great as a team stealth and I can get quite close up without being spotted so maybe stealth will be good for you and like I said grant invis for pets so that you can set them on follow and they not agro enemy.
ok looks like stealth will be the best bet. I don't want my henchmen to be invisible I was hoping for a situation where I can get less aggro when I move forwards to lay my traps (mercs stay at long range generally)
Stealth isn't as good as invis but at least I can still do stuff when stealthed

Yes, no, no, and yes.
By far the worst penalty of using invisibility in combat is losing Supremacy, and in any case you'll find enemies will often target you despite being invisible. Stealth works fine in this instance - you have a defence buff, and your pets still get all the advantages of you being around.
Has anyone tried Grant Invisible on your Henchmen?

Yep - Grant Invis on henchmen works fine. Can ghost a mission like that (though really no reason to - just summon henchmen when you get where you're going!)
Handy for PvP and a bit of a suprise for your opponent
stealth and SS works like invis and will still allow you to place mines etc.
