[mage] invisibility bug - take no damage?

[sorrows]

today in ToC25, a wipe was called. and as all mages/rogues/hunters do, we try to survive and avoid the corpse run/repair bill.
i used invis, as you do, and just as the 3 seconds were up, anub charged to me, he slapped me with a melee, yet it did no damage. but combat log still recorded a 55k hit on me.
this may be useful somewhere, but where i am not sure.
hope this is useful to someone.

so in short. there is a period within the transition of invisibility where you take 0 damage.

edit: after testing i have found that is it the transition between the 3sec countdown and the new buff. its damn near impossable to time with untalented invis (my screen was complete luck) but talented it is slightly easier to recreate.
but keep in mind the server registered me getting his for over 55k, but it didnt take the health away, wtf >.<"

Seems to me like u got lucky and he hit you at the perfect time to record dmg but not do it since u registered invis at same time.. if you could recreate this u might be onto something but with a 3 second timer to go invis (without the arcane talents obv) and the cd it would be hard to use it very effectively for that reason. On another note cool shit u survived lol

i am in the process of attempting to recreate it, but with the 3second fade and 2min CD its lengthy :P will post soon on findings

pretty sure this happens with vanish too. not exactly an exploit :3

this is exactly the same as the vanish "pom+pyro" evade trick.

this is what the mage Abni uses on my server to kind of evade my kidney's right as i'm about to he will invis and it'll say i used kidney shot but he won't have it.

it happened to me once with Jaraxxus, but with Shadowmelt instead of invisibility
I was the last man standing and the boss hit me and depoped at the same time

everybody knows this, it's the same with vanish, vanishing things will make you take no damage.

Since instant invis became an talent in arcane, I've seen quite a few mages make use of this and it worked well.

I know I've seen this in A mage video, but which one, i'm not sure (insta invis, not 3s cast).
