Plenty of fights won 1v3, by simply stealing the torches they throw in.

A dark room is basically a free invis.

H'uh. Might need to try that sometime i guess. I've been avoiding turning off torches to avoid raising suspicion that someone might be in the room.

You know the room with 2 steel doors.. A fire in the middle, respawn shrine, and 4 chests... Open the door, run in and destroy the spider spawner.. Zombies will then start spawning. Pull them and the spiders out and close the door..

Then put out all the torches before looting.. You can now sit invisible in mid, protected by mobs from both sides.. And loot about 6-8 good chests freely.

You can see them, but all they will see is light/safety on the other end. And a dark dangerous abyss in the mid.

I'm not sure that works. Hide/Stealth and Invisibility are treated as different things in the game.

Also kind of pointless when a Wizard can also haste-invis a Barbarian and he pops out with a 120 damage axe strike to the head.

The perk states "50% additional damage bonus to the first hit, 3 seconds after breaking out of stealth".

Yes, it says "breaking out of stealth". Invisibility is not stealth, it's invisibility. For instance, the Wizard spell Light will reveal hidden/stealthed Rogues, but doesn't affect invisible players.

And barbs cant even open locked chests or break locked entrances.

Lockpicks exist for all classes to open these things.

Barb is for speedrun teams. (break doors, barrels in 1 hit) Rogues is for PvP and looting.

Look at the kill leaderboards. Notice how the Barbarians and Wizards have over 2x more kills than the Rogues? The data says Rogues are not the PvP class.
