doesn't attack do quite a lot for sa? not to mention that just because you're able to sneak attack doesn't mean that you won't be meleeing at all.
If this ability is used by a Thief, the next strike will also receive a bonus of 1 base weapon damage for every point of DEX the player has when the attack hits.
Base weapon dmg > attack
To be perfectly honest, most of this discussion is moot due to the fact that gear is not taken into consideration. If you have 5/5 Emp+2 and twilight belt, you are only at 23% haste. Tiercel necklace and Rapidus put you at 25% and still give you nice stats. That leaves your earring/ring/back/ammo slots that you can use for extra damage. Atheling for back, suppa/brutal for earring, epona's/rajas for ring and you really don't have a lot more options for TP. Having 12 acc and 1% haste on a dagger looks really nice in this setup, but not everyone has this.
