I tend to agree...although I found my thief to be far better at bow (which I used regularly) rather than sneak or backstab.

What I would do is run the thief shadowed into a room with monsters, see how many there were, and then fireball away (this was after I got fireball, natch) from my mages...then hammer at the survivors with missile weapons. Few monsters got close, and the ones who did, the paladin and ranger switched to melee and took them out.

That was on hard groups. On easy groups, I also used the thief to lure monsters one at a time by uncloaking, having them follow, and then start bombarding away with missiles from the others.

Cheers,
