Well, You get it at 17...by the time you might have it maxed I figure you
might as well use Shari's Sonorous Clouding (I think it's Shari's?), which
you get shortly after. Unless of course the mobs you are passing can see
invisible. I found that Sonorous Clouding is one of the coolest methods of
retrieving your own corpse as well as party members' corpses because, as
most of us know, you become visible when looting. On the very next tick of
the song you become invisible again. We used this to get a friend's corpse
who was pulling mobs for us from deep within the Lost Temple of Cazic Thule.
He got lost in the maze (he went through the first door to the right in the
courtyard) and was gangbanged by sentinels and defenders. He was worried he
wouldn't get all of his gear back, but we laid those fears to rest in short
order. It is also great for resting your party in a hostile area.
