Is invisiblity worth it in PvP?
Invisibility works great in PvE, but that's because the enemies are programed to ignore you. In the few instances where I can view my character in third person i'm not really all that invisible. Even when standing completely motionless you're still quite blue. I've tried using it in the Crucible and i'm being spotted almost instantly regardless.
Is there any practical use to trying to use invisibility against real flesh and blood players with eyeballs or should it just be ignored in favor of other skills when in PvP?

However, I made a stealth Bladedancer and took it into Rumble and it is definitely worth using there as most encounters are 1v1. Standing leaves you on the radar, crouching makes you blink but invisible lets you run and not show on the radar at all. I don't bother with Shadowjack and use Fleet Footed. I kill people from behind and the side all the time. I just wait for them to go around one side of the object as I cloak and then run around the other. 205 Rumble CR, 3.3 K/D on my Bladedancer running that set. Also... Stalker works even while using Arc Blade. Vanish is better because Stalker takes a while to activate (wastes the first couple of seconds of your Arc Blade) but I've used Stalker a few times while in Arc Blade and it seemed to work. Not sure if there's a difference but if not, then you could use Stalker with maximum agility to get into the middle of a group and then use Showstopper to kill them all. Max Agility with Fleet Footed and Increased Control Double Jump is hilarious with invisibility. You can move ludicrously far in those 5 seconds of invisibility. One minute you're behind a pillar, the next you're behind the guy trying to kill you stabbing him in the back.
