I understand how Ninjas can use Aether to facilitate their disappearing act, and have seen some cool examples of that written.
Ultimately though I think stealth is pretty cool when you roleplay it as actual stealth, hiding behind shadows, distractions, dressing in black and not just a magical I'm hiding now button.
In the rogue storyline, I saw Jackes disappearance behind the walking person as just a showcase of his skill to be able to use that momentary distraction to vanish -- not literally, but dextrously moving with the person, or jumping off a ledge or something so as to appear to vanish.

Talks the talk, and walks the walk.
Serious, lore-abiding, mature roleplayer.
