I'm a Hunter and play with the invisibility feature. Because I'm a ninja... I like it, but what's annoying about it is how I have no idea when it's going to turn back on. Sometimes it takes 2 seconds, other times it takes 4, and a few times it's gone even longer. I know it sound like nothing, but it's very annoying when you're in a tight corner. Like, if someone is approaching me, I have to decide, should I run and hope for the best, or should I wait for my camo to activate? Every second counts when it comes to these kinds of multiplayers, and I'm left in the dark on when my camo is going to turn on. On top of this, even though I've gained a sort of feel for how long it lasts, I'm never 100% sure. If I want to look around for a vantage point to shoot from, or seek out ammo, in an area where people can easily kill me, I need to know how much camo I have left at all times, so I can know when I should probably retreat back to a safer area. It's annoying when I think I have a few seconds left, then become totally exposed in front of everyone.
I know this can be easily solved if I just study the cooldown time, the duration, etc. I know if I play more cautiously, most of this stuff wouldn't be as much of a problem, but I feel like I shouldn't have to. Grenades get duration bars, melee gets a duration bar, your super ability gets a duration bar, even several other abilities from your subclass gets some sort of temporary duration bar, like Chain of Woe. So why would such a serious tactical power like invisibility not get a it's own bar? I'm sure there are reasons, but I would really like it if invisibility had a bar to indicate how close it is to being recharged, how close it is to activating, and how much longer I have until it shuts off.

Thanks for the timer idea, guys. I've never played outside of a Hunter, so I never knew there were actually timers. I've adjusted the name, and please, guys, like this post or make your own posts about the same thing so that the idea spreads. Thanks.

It lasts roughly 12 seconds with the extension. Sometimes it doesn't reset and u have to stand and re crouch, revealing your postion. It sucks, I'd like a stand alone timer as well

I agree. Doesn't need to be a bar, a timer in bottom left (similar to Warlock's flame shield) would suffice. Same goes for any other temporary abilities.

This would be awesome
