How do mercenary shoes work?

[jharridge]

Can someone explain how mercenary shoes work?
I don't really understand what channeling is but these sound pretty good if you are invisible and gain speed...
Good for ganking? Good for escaping?

Cheers

As far as how good they are, I cannot say, but I can explain what channeling is. In most games, "channeling" is concentrating on a spell/ability with no interruptions. It is pretty similar in Albion. I have yet to use the merc boots for the invisibility (which I assume is your question). I believe* this particular invis is a stationary invis, since you need to be channeling the skill. I would assume this wouldnt be great for escaping, but better for setting an ambush.

I believe there are 3 variations for Channeling abilities.

Some will play out for their duration (Uninterruptable)

Some will be cancelled when you receive damage.

While others you can interrupt yourself by using another ability.

Some will also be a combo of the 2nd & 3rd. Like your Merc Boots.
