Who enjoys all the stealth attacks?

I was just going over the official song list again...http://eq2players.station.sony.com/classes/index.vm?classId=36And does anyone else besides me get annoyed by the number of stealth attacks we get? I use them from time to time, but they are really not a staple of how I play my character. I would be much happier if some of the stealth attacks were changed to something else.Anyone else share this sentiment or am I alone?

The way i see it, is that soe was very hesitant about giving us dps without making predators/rogues obsolete. Statistically I do about 120 max dps while swashes have been parsed at around 180. With our support abilities an slight increase would make us very very dangerous. The stealth attacks are a reasonable compromise b/c we get a good amount of dmg at the beginning without making preds/rogues complain, in addition it's really easy to get used to; play your highest level sneak song as you rush a mob or a mob is pulled to you and simply execute. Combined with the sneak songs it's pretty cool that it nullifies the first of any buff aggro dmg that you get and gives you agility (Not even sure if this works) I+ when you tell swashes that you can pull 620 max it makes them cry =).

I don't necessarily want better damage attacks, I would take even broader utility instead. I just don't find much use in the stealth attacks, and I don't feel much like a troubador using them.

shrug I like em to be honest any time that I can get behind a target and I'm not doing anything else I'm pelting them with flank attacks and restealthing to smack them with my strongest stealthed attack as often as stealth cycles.
