Escape and evasion, when enabled it gives you a stealth and a speed boost, and when it is enabled, you are stealthed. The speed it is giving is designed to speed up someone not stealthed, and the buff is only enabled when it is active, ie when you are stealthed.

Escape and evasion is for use AFTER you use your sniper shot.
So by that time, you should be out of stealth anyway.
It's basically what you'd use if your cover is broken (especially prematurely) and you need to get away.

It is still designed so that you are stealthed when it is enabled. I know it is made to be used when getting away, since it makes you to sneak, not to be concealed.
