Group invisibility and suppression

How exactly does the suppression of Group Invisibility work now? There seems to be a huge disparity between the graphics and the reality.

My experience is that attacking, and even non-aggro powers like Deceive, cause the graphics to suppress to a half-visible state. However I seem to stay invisible to the mobs until I aggro them, and if I wait a while I'm again fully invisible to the next spawn although the graphics don't reflect that.

Not so with glowies. When I click a glowie, nothing happens to the invisibility graphics, I still look fully invisible. But I'm not, it appears that to the mobs I'm not even stealthed and not even waiting for a while seems to help.

This really sucks, not knowing if I'm invisible or not is the absolute worst thing this power could do especially as it's a long recharge click. Considering respeccing out of it now.

no need to respec it out just yet.

We really do need the buff icon to show if you're suppressed or not...very annoying atm...better yet...remove the suppression again!

I dumped it for Steamy Mist, GI is just too vague for my tastes now.

Yeah, I'm thinking SI will be back in my build unless something is changed before I can be bothered with respec. I assume if you toggle it off and on you get full invisibility again?

So does anyone know if the suppression last for the rest of the duration of GI after clicking a glowie? Should I give up trying to wait it out?

Suppression should last 10 seconds, if it lasts longer it's gone for good.


I really should do something about this signature.
