shadowform

Do you stay in shadowform longer the more you train ivo? or does it just improve the success rate? i just tryed it with ivo at around 8 and i was only in form for a very short period of time.
Thanks for helpin noobs

Anyone know? wiki doesnt say anything about it and i dont rlly wanna dump exp into it if its not gonna help out the duration, which seems pretty short.

Yes, the duration is based on Invocations skill, and nothing else. It's something like 20 + 4d(Evocations skill) (note that this is not the actual formula, just approximately pretty close).

Awesome thanks. I'm playing as a vampire stabber I'm trying to figure out a good number to get it to. I prolly don't want to max it out right? Maybe put invocation till what 14 15? I have it at 8 now and just got a manual. Also what are some good was of still dealing damage while in shadow form. Wiki days disc of storms spam is good. Are there any other good ways of having a good amount of offense while in shadow form? Summons maybe, I got a manual of summons which summon spell is a good one to be my staple in your guys opinion?
Hey thanks alot I really appreciate the help here and I'm really liking this game.

Ohh one more thing. I've got max stealth when I look at my character sheet but it doesn't ever rlly max out I thought I read somewhere. So I should keep training it or should I just leave it at 17 where it is now? I'm lvl 18 max piety with dith. Thanks again!

Evocations in general should be good -- if you have some nice rods or something. Summons often don't depend too much on spell power. Stabbing is fine because half of "a friggin' ton" is still enough to one-shot most things. Scrolls of torment won't kill dudes but will sure soften them up. If you're bloodless, you won't even take damage.

But generally, I don't think you're gonna spend a lot of time killing dudes in shadow form.

I wouldn't max invo on Dith; I'd probably train until Shadow Form was at a good failure rate and leave it.
