Indeed; I wasn't saying you weakened it, just that sneak attack doesn't have to be so powerful since the rogue is not really a combat class.
That's all well and good, but not everyone wants to play a social rogue, there's not always the opportunity to do much talking, and, most importantly, d&d is a combat game at heart. When the chips are down, every class needs to be able to pull its weight in a fight.
