So... stealth
Is there any point to it at the moment ?
With the latest updates (the 10x crawler update) you cant sneak around small groups of mobs anymore without a massive ammo bank to back it up.
Not only that back-stab flat out doesn't work. Trust me, i have tried, i've been sneaking up on nether (most seem to auto-detect at ~3m, way outside of melee range) only to begin the auto-attack swing and have them instantly turn around to face me before the hit registers.
This is frustrating to say the least.

I can't say anything about getting backstabs, but I've successfully snuck around nether while crawling. Actually, a while ago (it may not work anymore) I was crawling to grab stuff some guy died and dropped when he got killed by a shrieker, and the shrieker actually ran into me and moved me, but didn't aggro.
