Besides giving a Defensive buff and allowing diving/repositioning, have you ever tried dashing with the Drakon's shield/bashing with the Mask's invisibility?

I mean, you got flames around you, dash into enemies and literally damage them all in your path. Bashing might work too, but it's a bit more dangerous.
For the invisibility, dashing DOES cancel it, so it is practically useless, but have you ever tried repositioning yourself into a lot of enemies just to bash them all away, even stunning them and helping your team Sudaruska/Blitz/whatever them?

Besides, let's assume you just used your ER becaue you were surrounded by a ton of creeps, just use the Drakon's shield and bash to get out safely or try to shieldbump them and then go invis with Mask.

Also, remember that rocket puppy room at vanaduke? Don't have a AP with you or something to deal significant damage? Just go invisible and go past it.

Just found out, bashing with invisibility does NOT cancel it.

Neither does shield bumping. You can troll "friends" by shieldbumping lumbers into them. :)

Slimes will want to be your friend when you are invisible.

I can imagine Soloing Shadow

I can imagine Soloing Shadow Lairs will be easier using Maskeraith's cloak. You cloak, and everything stops attacking. You can then shieldbump enemies to the sides of the room, or all together, and get into a good position to start the fight again.

I wonder if Bosses (Rabid Snarboli especially) ignore you while you're cloaked, so you can get a hit out on minions (especially that Silkwing)

You can also eat pills and ready vials while invisible. Pills are handy for obvious reasons, but you can also ambush enemies with stun and curse vials and what have you.

I find the invisibility one of the most useful of all of them :O

Use it to walk through Grimalkins and Graveyard Spirits for free
Use it to G/chat in the middle of the arena to complain about how laggy it is
Ride out a lag spike
Safely grab a heart
Good for running through a crowd you don't wanna fight
Evade a ghost turret's suicide attack by making yourself an illegal target
Get passed a gun puppy barricade in Scarlet Fortress

Or, USE DASH.

Well, I wish invisibility didn't show up to teammates

so you'd look invisible to them...
