I loved having sneak. I used it all the time on my halfling cleric. Buy/sell from any merchant, complete some quests that you wouldn't be able to do because of low faction, etc. You can even sneak tag (I did a few sneak pulls in a chardok royals group once, using the long-range skipper stones you can get from swamp of no hope), though your options for throwing weapons are almost all too short range until Velious.
It hasn't been as nice for getting around, since invis pots are only 10pp per and on blue you can get ring of shadows and larrikan's mask charges for even less. I also don't know how useful it will be in Velious.
But when the tradeoff is that you can't wear robes... meh. So what? So what the best chest in the game for casters is a robe? Everyone will want it, right? Do you plan on having more DKP than everyone else? Do you plan on raiding enough that everyone else gets one so that you can have your shot eventually too? Or are you more likely to be content with a piece of armor and being able to find indifferent merchants anywhere in the world?
