Stealthed, Stealthed w/Superspeed or an IO: Yes.
Using Invisibility power: I don't believe so, as it sets you to "Only affecting self," as I recall.

And... Time bomb? Someone took that?


Wanted: Origin centric story arcs.
If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

You can't use Invisibility the power to do it, but you could use Cloaking Device in concert with a stealth IO or Superspeed.

I'm not sure if you can summon pets/pseudopets while under an Only Affecting Self effect.

Invisibility can also be granted by Group Invisibility or Grant Invisibility from another player. Placing mines will not break either of these forms of Invisibility. However, I believe that one (both?) of them breaks once you attack or get attacked, instead of suppressing (ie, once you become visible, you STAY visible until the power is reapplied).

Time Bomb is baaaaadddd.


You can toe bomb with trip mines as long as you aren't in a state that is only affecting self, as others have mentioned. This will probably mean a stealth IO+Cloaking Device or super speed + stealth IO.

The Stealth pool is, well, not very good, unless you're specifically using it for lotg rchg+ holders. Super Speed gives you the same level of stealth as stealth from the stealth pool gives you (as well as the -threat that comes with it) and is also a very good travel power.
Even if you don't have IOs unlocked on your account, you have cloaking device anyways to stack with super speed for full invisibility.
