I was looking at my husband's screen and noticed Sneak Attack has a max potency of 300 while Trick Attack has a min potency 240, a max of 400, AND applies a 10% increased damage debuff on the foe. In the preliminary notes I believe it read Sneak Attack having a max of 500 potency which, although still not as good as Trick Attack, did lend itself to certain situations better than Trick Attack. I fully understand things change but that just seems like a rather poor design choice since as it is I honestly don't even see much of a point in having these two skills if one is going to pretty much always be absolutely undeniably better.

He hasn't noticed yet because he's having fun for once and I don't want to spoil it with even a little bad news. Even though I know he'd never really use Sneak Attack because he's a team player but I know it'll irk him just because the skill is so useless. Was there a legitimate reason behind this?
