It can literally be used in almost every zone frequented by a lvl 60 adventurer.

Literally (in the proper use of the word), yes: I can literally click my Sneak button in any zone [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But practically useful? I think it's a bit hyperbolic to say that Sneak is practically useful in "almost every" (or even the majority) of zones. I'm happy to be convinced otherwise by specific examples though.

Anywhere you find a see invis mob, you can potentially use sneak to get around.

I was about to say this is a flat out lie: you can't sneak past (for instance) the See Invis guards in Kael, because they never look away. But, maybe you know something I don't ...

This combined with indoor AE root and snare at 60 make crawling to specific camps possible. I've used it to get to a variety of places usually restricted to coth or drag or a slow, slow solo root/camp crawl.

This is the heart of what I was hoping to see. When some asshole says "see, this thing is obviously awesome and everyone who says otherwise is a moron" ... I think: "that person is a moron" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But when someone says "I'm clever and I'm doing stuff you haven't thought of", then I think "I want to be clever too! Teach me!'

I honestly can't think of a way to combine root and Sneak to get past the See Invis guards in Kael, but I'd love to hear how. Please, let's hear more specifics about how you use Sneak in places that it's not obviously useful to do so (eg. Kael see invis) ... and less "Sneak is good everywhere, duh guys!"
