Concealed Weapon and Surprise Attack

Just switched from Sta to Mag and, with the same tooltip for damage ~9300, Surprise Attack will hit mobs from stealth for 40+K and concealed weapon for less than 20k. Why is this?

    You get a damage bonus when attacking from stealth with a melee ability. Concealed weapon doesnt count because its magic damage

    They don't like magblades. Same tooltip, half the damage output. They try to make it ok by saying "but you have more survivability", and in the meantime they perma dodgeroll away while spamming vigor. rofl

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    We get faster sneak speed but everything counters sneak so really we get just get half the damage output.

    Magicka melee nb need a buff to dots (lotus, agony, and cripple) and a weapon passive that converts melee la/ha damage into magicka damage. I'd also like to see concealed weapon revert back to no dodge on hit like dk lash/whip.
