Sir, I would argue that sneak attack is by far the greatest ability a slayer has as far as combat goes, and here's why: Feint and Two weapon fighting.
Take Favored skill bluff, and grab an item that can boost you even a bit more. When fighting your studied target you get bonuses to bluff. I am currently level 10 and against my studied target I have a +24 to bluff. meaning Feint basically always succeeds, and with two weapon feint I give up my first attack to basically remove the targets dex bonus for the entire round, since you can take improved feint and such. Now you're doing sneak attack on every single attack, arguably hitting almost every time, since you should have a high bonus on your weapon and you take the finesse line and stack dex. My slayer at level 10 averages around 90 damage per round, with deadly sneak. Because deadly sneak is actually pretty damn good if you're rolling 12 sneak attack dice per round.(You also variant multiclass into rogue, for extra sneak attack dice)
