If Stealth reduces aggro range, it doesn't do it by enough to be of any use to anyone subbing NIN. I run around as a 50 War/Nin all day, and I've got a train of ******* EP on my ***, beating me in the back of the head with sticks and arrows. Sure, the damage isn't TOO much, but at 50 it becomes considerable.

Stealth needs to either have upgrades, or be done away with completely, adding something more useful for NIN and /NIN into the mix.
They just leave you alone

I tested this in delkfutts tower in the center room on the first floor. I aggroed a gigas gatekeeper and some bats, and just ran around the pillar for a while. One by one they stopped following me. What made me want to test this was that our puller was a ninja also, and he kept having to run back and repull the prey.
sound aggro

I found that it worked much better for reducing sound aggro. In Giddeus, the EP worms (one or two levels above TWTBW) would not aggro me at all - I could run around/on top of them all I wanted. The same was not true for the EP Yagudo (though the radius-reducing effect might have been working).

I didn't try healing near them, but I doubt it does anything then anyways.
how it works

What this ability does is makes the agro distance from mobs a bit smaller. i.e. You can get closer to mobs before they will agro to you.

This seems to be based on your lvl and mob lvl as Ive had EP goblins turn around and walk straight through me w/o agro. Not sure if the distance actually increases as you lvl tho, and dont feel like testing it. From what im told this does stack with the RNG ability. But dont rely on this to save your but in a dangerous situation. Thats what Mijin Gakure is for ;)
Something that I noticed.

This may shed some light on things. For the past week and a half, i've been in the secret part of eldeime necropolis, hunting liches for limit break. I've noticed that I can walk relatively close to the mummies that spawn near the liches and not get afro, unless, of course, my hp is in the yellow or worse. My guess is, that stealth reduces the radius of agro from a mob that is reasonably close to your level.

A mummy will inflict Afro on you, which raises your CHR status, but it also has the effect of binding you.

The Bind lasts twice as long as a normal one, but once you're unbound, and still have Afro status, you deal 1.5x damage.

You also grow an afro while inflicted with Afro status.
Not thrilled yet

I'm NIN7, and so far I haven't gotten too much use from this ability. It feels there's nothing special going on. I've been aggroed by random creatures walking rather far away from me (beastmen especially.) Perhaps Stealth's strength is based on your level.
Linking?

Are you able to move whilst in stealth mode? Is there a penalty to movement?

How effective is it?

Its a passive ability, meaning always on, so there is no "stealth mode". not exactly sure how effective it is, just got the job so ill have to test it out.

stealth is passive, im not exactly sure how it works, but my best guess is it lowers your visibilty

i can run past a veteran quadav at lvl 8 now and 4 out of 5 times not get agro

but when a ghouls spawns in Sgust it comes after me like i was a sexy ghoul chick in lacy underwear...


but thats just my best guess :)
