Plus I'd always run in to the problem during a melee frenzy where I'd hit something and it wouldn't die. Then I'd come out of stealth with a Wile E. Coyote "uh oh" and get squashed.

yeah, I've had those moments. Although that's where the Law consistently saved my bacon. Just start swinging away till everyone died, or stealth recharged. Almost always lived through it. I discovered that hitting them in the rear while stealthed was critical to getting the one-hit kill. Also waiting until the last 1/2 second of stealth also built up the damage enough to almost always one-hit kill them. but a quick frontal attack failed more often then not.

My biggest problem with the sniper build is that I "usually" killed folks just fine while sniping with a regular build... but with a sniper build, I had that Wile E. Coyote "uh oh" moment *EVERY* time I tried to not snipe them, and habits are a bit*h, I kept trying... and trying... and trying...
