Diablo – What does Invisibility actually mean

diablo-3

Some of the Demon Hunter's powers (specifically Smoke Screen) cause invisibility.
What does this actually accomplish? It seems like enemies keep coming at me and attacking, but usually when I use it I'm in the thick of things and not paying more attention to not dying than whether or not my health is stable for those 2 seconds. My roommate thought it might grant invulnerability for those few seconds, but I can't find anything to back that up.

Smoke Screen does in fact give invulnerability. It's especially handy to avoid dying. This is why it was patched a few days ago to be reduced to a duration of 1.5 seconds instead of 2 seconds.

It's not complete invulnerability mind you. Some damage, whether by design or bug, can still get through. One example is molten tiles, which can cause a strange health bubble rubberband effect and leave you at 1 hp.
