Well if we talking pvp - and exec start with lashing in stealth using first strike - yes then you do get like something for SOD.
But this is also a handicap forcing you to use first strike and lashing to even get something out of it - dont cast path of the blade or smokebomb before entering stealth.
And when we talking mobs in dungeons, bosses - dragons etc. First strike is a pure waste since after first hit, you wont be doing any harm with it.
And everyone else is going against Scoundrels who are still doing an INSANE amount of damage (note on how the caps makes it sound so much worse), is there a point here other than "a TR hurt me, please nerf"?
SoD will always remain a problem, I feel, as to get it working in pve will necessitate trouble in pvp. Still right now as a Sab my Lashing has higher initial damage (and none of the fixes will change this) than it would as an Exe and can you honestly say being able to remain in stealth after is not worth the 5-10k SoD does more than SO?
As for Scoundrels if one doesn't think daze is worth lower burst damage, one shouldn't spec for it in the first place. Plenty of people will think it is regardless.
Right now one of the 3 TR paragon trees has a t3, a t4, and a capstone that are all not properly working. Regardless of whether you care for the tree or not this should be an unacceptable state of matters for the TR community.
