What is the best option for when you log in before casting illusions / when illusion unexpectedly drops?

WC cap, which they can all use.

Stats won't matter once you get gear.

DE is #1. Going zone to zone you keep ultravision. You can hide and stay invis indefinitely. This is very useful in areas without see invis if you need to AFK.

It doesn't matter
Hide to break charm is trash, ultravision is cool though
Erudite or high elf if you care about stats, gnome has the best racial/fashion.
Humans pretty rare and good stats

I have a 55 enc on blue and he’s a high elf.


First off, I’m constantly in my Neriad shawl elemental illusion so having to reapply illusion isn’t that big of a deal considering I think it’s a 30 minute buff.

I wouldn’t pick gnome for that reason.

I’ve never played dark elf but I’ve heard the hide to break charm is trash.


I would go high elf for the extra cha and once you cap it then you can replace cha gear for int or hp gear.

I’m going to be starting a enc on green as well soon… leveling buddies?

While the cap can be useful, and many will find it’s recharging trivial, I actually meant which is the best race option under those circumstances [You must be logged in to view images.

How successful is the hide ability on a dark elf? If people
keep mentioning this as a perk then it should be something that can be relied on instead of a goblin gazughi ring during the leveling process. If it has a 80% success rate then I would imagine dark elf would be a good choice. If you’re trying to hide when mobs at below 10% and it rarely works then that would be super frustrating.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the success rate?

I’ve never played a dark elf so im curious how useful it would be. I’ve always picked high elf for the high charisma. Swapping illusions only takes a few seconds so it doesn’t bother me considering you’re constantly swapping spells anyway so it’s not like you’re having to do something you wouldn’t be accustomed to doing in the first place.


Posts like these should have a poll so you can see the results instead of scrolling through pages of posts.

I have found DE hide works usually at worst by third try but a lot of times it feels like on the 3rd time it works. Atleast for pet drops

You don't use hide to break charm. Get a goblin g ring for instant charm breaks.

You use hide to stay invis indefinitely while AFK.

But only DE can go perma-invis and safely AFK in areas without see invis.

That makes them superior =)
