a shadowed man  

If any of the shadowed men see invis it is probably the necros after they cast Deadeye, the necro see invis spell.

If you have to run then you're already dead. Best bet is to gate out. (39th Mage on Vallon, don't need the faction anymore =)

Treants are about the same level and they hit as hard as the shadowed men... And, I'm pretty sure, Shiae, that the HP on the Shadowed Men varies on the class. Warriors would have the most hp, while necros would have the least, i would suspect. I'm also pretty sure the necros have 450hp...I had about that much at 24-26.

The respawn time on that flower is less that 30 seconds, so relax and breathe a little :P

As a 25 mage, I could solo a shadowed man (con yellow to red) as long as there was just 1 in the spawn. Any more than that and forget it unless you have help, preferably tanks or another pet class. Wizards can kill them quick, but they gotta get those spells off with the men hitting for 54+ a pop. Take the clerics out first, it's in your best interest =)

Ive never saw a shaman or an enchanter one, and I fought them for a week straight after they put them in...maybe it depends on which camp your at?(the one I was hitting was the spawn in LFay) They cant outrun SoC, but thats not a form of SoW :P They are summoned creatures, druids have that hardly ever used anti-summoned line they get to use on these suckers(dont have SoW on, youll just run further away when you get feared, and alot of the necro spells kill SoW anyways). Also remember that mages can summon swords of runes that proc DD vs. summoned, making a tank a shadowed killin machine :) Also, shadowed always see through invis, but I think that thier aggro ranged is screwy cause alot of the time you can get pretty close even if you have been hunting them awhile and they wont jump you...then other times theyll jump you quick(p.s. for the aggro-this is the only MoB Ive had mixed results with Harmony on, sometimes you get less but it hardly ever works as well as it usually does). Oh yeah, also any MoB has a chance to see through Invis, though certain ones do more than others, and some always do :)

Just wanted to let you know that the other day I was on a chip hunt in Nektulos. As usual, I had my Sense the Dead spell memmed. Well, low and behold.....I targetted a Shadowed Man with Sense the Dead. Just an FYI.

I'm not certain that the Shadowed Men can ALWAYS see through Invisible on a person. If I recall rightly from some research I did a while back, higher-level MOBs (starting in the mid-20s for some MOBs, like Shadowed Men) have a chance of seeing through the Invisible on a given player. I'm not sure if the level of the player or the caster who Invis'ed them has any bearing on this or not. As for the Shadowed Men in particular, since they are themselves invisible (aside from whatever they are holding, and their nametags), it seems logical that their chance to see through might be higher than some other MOBs. Just a few thoughts.
