Huge waste of points for something you can do with a quick spell. In the occasional instances where you need an insta-hide, such as the initial spawn of a tmap chest, USE JEWELRY. YOU'RE A TREASURE HUNTER. You'll have invis rings coming out of your ears.

As a TREASURE HUNTER, it would make sense to use a free skill to hide and sell those invis items at 200-300g a charge.

If...
-He's a lvl 5 tmap soloer, Eval Int. Will make for cleaning up monsties much easier.
-He's doing any sort of pvp, Resist. Self explanatory.
-He's trying to run away from any/all pvp, wrestling. On a template like this, wrestling's sole purpose is getting a recall off before death. If you don't see yourself needing this, don't get wrestling.

- No. Eval might double your average damage of an Ebolt. But you can instead just cast it twice. Usually at the end of a map, I have one monster left, and he's typically suffering from level 5 poison. He'll be dead soon.
- No. If you're doing any sort of pvp with music, provo, cartography and lockpicking on your template, you're mentally unsound. Self explanatory.
- OK, I guess.

You can certainly use invis jewelry as opposed to hiding, I guess. In that case, I'd GM wrestling, just to avoid 50% of the Balron swings that hit you immediately when you pull up a chest. But I find hiding to be much more practical for chest lockpicking as well. If you're using invis items for that type of stuff, you're losing half your profit right away on each chest.
