It's not that big of a deal though, these are ordinary npcs with ordinary health pools. It's funny to me that when the npc nightblade is stealthed and it's winding up an attack white lines radiate from it's invisible body. So, sometimes I bash it if I don't have aoe slotted.
Actually the "stealth" ability they use isn't stealth, nor can it be detected by stealth detection.
If it's not stealth what is it? The npc is invisible and aoe damage reveals it.
It would be classified as invisibility.
Technically it could be called stealth, but it has a way different detection formula result.
Basically it operates as stealth does, but it takes 30m off the final detection calculation.
Best "stealth" in game is 7 medium Khaj with 3 stealth detection reduction sets. It gets you to 2m frontal detection or so with -from side and behind. Invisibility is way better as it generally will get you to -detection all around.
It's:
F20*65=13m-5-2-2-2=2m for max stealth character.
invis is:
F20*armor reduction=X-racial-set(s) then -30meters.
even in 0 medium armor and no racials or sets it's invisible.
