What's up with the power sneak? I cannot come remotely close to an enemy without it seeing me. I am pretty sure it is somewhat based on presence but I would think it would have some effect without buffing presence.

According to the description Dexterity is supposed to make stealth more effective.

They've been... meddling with stealth a LOT lately, but haven't been very vocal about it.

That's a shame. I was hoping to get stealth. Not for a damage bonus but just so i can use Acrobatics to get around without getting shot up.

You cant use acrobatics while sneaking. You walk around crouched over very slow while in sneak mode. But in beta most of the time I tried to use it it didnt even turn on. You will know when your guy is in sneak mode because he will be crouched over and half see through.

Definitely seconded- bought this and feel regret creeping in . If sneak doesn't combo with anything, it's garbage. It's slow, it doesn't work very well at getting past mobs, and is obsolete if you have teleport or tunneling. Either it needs to get a lot better for being sneaky or it needs some extra 'tricks' to it- preferably both.

I think sneak needs 2 things:

1.) Based on Dex vs Mob lvl: you shouldn't be so easy to detect. I think that probably just boils down to some number crunching, and my guess is it will eventually get fixed...

2.) Sneak attack damage: This ability alone (assuming the damage is pretty massive, as it usually is for "rogue" like characters in other games), would make the sneak ability worthwhile.

I took the skill knowing it's pretty well useless at the moment, but as long as they know it's broken, and will be worked on/fixed, i'm confident it will some day be handy. :)
