Ok, for those that arn't quite sure (this includes myself), what is the point of invisibility as opposed to sneak? Or that lovely agent fooling disguise?  Feel free to school us once again MxO operatives on yet another, worthless ab...

Spy needs those worthless abs to balance everything else out. After all the capability of doing 800+ dmg in less than 3 seconds is something I would never moan about...

El oh el. You make it quite clear that you have zero knowledge about spy XD XD

Invisibility, though restricted in time, is 1. faster and 2. does NOT break on damage. When I go spy and use my knive thrower / shadow LO, invisiblity saves my life more often than sneak can ever do. Also, I manage to ruin somones day with it quite easily.

Sneak = general invisible move
Disguise = quick "sneak" attack, when being invisible is not needed
Invisibility = stowaway and quick attack


Many spies discard invisibility. In my opinion, though, that is wrong.

Also, I believe some abilities can only be used in conjunction with Invisibility. 

Either way, the best way to learn the differences is to practice using all three.

I think I remember reading how the game explained it as sneak is more like hiding and being quiet so you can teqnically be seen still and NPC's that are close to your level will still see you at times. But invis is just that although it restricts you by a timer so in some cases not so good although i think i'll have to try out that part about not being inturpted when shot at...
