> Well, it is almost useless for exploring now since many new areas have mobs (not unique mobs mind you, just the run of the mill one in every room mobs) that see duo and can kill you before you get a command in.

The worst of it is finding out the hard way. I teleported into one place moved
a step and just got pounded on. I was lucky to recall.
The more irritating thing to me is the ability of centurions to see duo dimension.

> So if duo can kill you, why would you explore with it?

Good point. Duo really can kill you because of the lag associated
with stepping out of duo. I've had some serious close calls by
this alone.

> So, yes, it can get you out of trouble, but so can word, and when your REALLY in trouble i.e. nightgaunt, frightful fiend, you can't word because of swarm, your poisoned or crimson scourged, trying to duo to get away will surely get you killed.

The beauty of duo is it keeps you from getting to a lot of trouble from the start,
and allows you some freedom when you approach an enemy. It's not a secret that duo
is a great scouting tool.

> Seems like everytime they implement something new, they screw arcanes.

Arcane muters have their drawbacks. The ability of halts to be stacked coupled to
my continual failure with hold, makes me wonder why I rolled an arcane. Duo dimension
has allowed me to play this character longer than I probably would have been able to,
and while it too has some wierd quirks associated with it, it's allowed me to have
quite a bit of fun. *winks at Thror*

Um, what's the difference between duo and improved invis? n/t Young Invoker 15:50:19 11/04/99 (2)
- No one but no one can see you duoed (some mobs exlcuded, no players). Improved invis just doesn't let anyone below your level see you. N/T Jarenos 18:50:58 11/04/99 (1)
  - So... for heros, improved invis is neigh useless against other heros? n/t Invoker 20:34:12 11/04/99 (0)
