Invis vs Invis (undead)

[Tomandny]

How many of you think that as a Necromancer we should be able to Invis (normal) and not loose our pets?
If there was not a different spell for undead invis I wouldn't think that the current system is wrong. Why does my undead pet leave me if I am invisible to all but undead?
I'm more or less new to Necromancy, so if there is an "old school" answer please share.
Thanks,

Tom,

What you say makes perfect sense. However, logic and EQ gameplay dont' necessarily share notes, if you know what I mean.

I'm sure SOE considers it a game balance issue - not sure *why*, as any class can invis (with potion or spell or clicky) but only the pet class takes a loss to an ability to do so (ie, having their pet up).

This was fixed by adding the AA abilit of Suspend Minion. This allows you to go any kind of invis or even FD indefinately without losing the pet. Sure you have to a certain level to get it but like the post above me states, making sense and EQ rarely go together.

Figure you will be able to go invis with a pet about the same time you can cast regular sow or ride a mount in a dungeon.(any reason why these shouldn't work? other then size limitations on the mounts which can be fixed with shrink anyway)

Pets dont see invis thats why they disappear. Pets are clueless without a master. If thier master disappears then they return to which they came. Try bind site sometime. Where it allows you to look through anothers eyes. Cast it on your pet. In an area like velks where things invis. And youll see pets do not see invis. If they could, our pets would remain. In that sense casting see invis on your pet should be allowed to work. But thats were once agian logic and eq comes in.

The problem with balance used to be, as I understand it, that with normal invis and a pet still up (either a summoned pet or a charmed one), you could run around killing mobs and (on red servers) other players, without even being seen. This was long before pets had no aggro and died after 2 mins afk, back when you could FD in Lguk cav room and go to bed and wake up having dinged once or twice.

If your pet didn't poof because he could see you when you invis, presumably charmed pets wouldn't break charm either and then the Bards would be crying because swarm kiting would be virtually impossible.
