Grant Invisibility. Why?
Its more a -perception or a lets ninja to mission objective thing however with the more highly defensive sets or made to be more defensive it can make a difference in a tohit calculation granting them a lot more survivability. I dont have it on a single toon i may have it on my ninja mm for concept though.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Ghosting, and PvP. If you team with people who treat all missions as defeat alls, and don't do team PvP, don't take it.

ok so max's answer was a little better than mine [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] he is exactly 100% right
Also should be noted that Grant Invis is usually taken as a route to Invisibility and/or Phase Shift if the person isn't keen on having both Stealth and Invisibility. Pretty much like if you're going for Invoke Panic from Presence, you'll need to go through Challenge or Provoke. Both which are powers that you will, as a Defender, use even more rarely than Grant Invisibility...

Unless you play a pvp defender who specialises in taking on melee opponents. Gotta love the "WTF?! o_O" comments when you start taunting the oppositions tank [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
I must be missing something.
I'm in a tossup whether to dump Grant Invis for the Presence pool and make for Invoke Panic.
So far, I've made my teammates translucent, and given them a pathetic defence bonus.
No team I've been on so far has cared about stealthing, they just want to kill things.
I've turned teammates who've popped res-pills invisible, so they could rest in battle in safety. I think that's the most use it's been so far.
It probably allows them first strike. But then, they get that anyway.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?!? What use is Grant Invisibility???
