Thancred is incapable of using aether and he was going toe to toe with the WoD WAR in HW all anime styled.Â
Then you got Rauban (can NEVER spell his fucking name!) Kicking a pillar like a soft ball in 2.0 along with Yugiri doing some Hollywood ninja acrobats.
In short if you're talking about using aether to do stuff like martial flips and have super strength (compared to a human irl) you legit could get away with just being naturally that strong/fast without any aether. Sidurgu from the DRK questline literally throws a two handed sword with one arm several meters as another example.
But if you're referring to trying to jump like a DRG or use Chakras like a monk or any other special abilities you need aether yes.
