Well apparently, Fixers do have summon melee weapon nanos (however useless they may be). They also get one of the lowest costing skills in concealment. Lets consider someone may want to be unorthodoxed and just maybe make a melee fixer...cause you know, well we can do that. yeah the IP expense will be insane, but that's the great thing about AO, you don't have to be a carbon copy of everyone. Remember, games are about fun, not just being uber, super twink, I want to be the best ever.
Therefore, any buff that any profession gets is only useless if that profession does not have "Any Use at all" for the skill that the nano buffs. Last time I checked, every profession in the game can use any weapon you like and therefore, this buff is then good for that reason.
People, think outside the box a little and stop assuming that fixers run around with GSF, wielding SMG's, wearing GA, hacking everything in site and whatever else the common fixer does. I mean I made a melee agent that uses sneak attack (agent's have the lowest cost to raise sneak attack other than shades I believe)....and agent doesn't even get a sneak buff...but guess what, you can FP fixer, use this buff and still have access to fixer and agent buffs...so it's an alternative to FPing another profession that gets sneak attack buffs (I beleive advy is the one, not sure atm).
Bottom line, this game allows us to take our fixer (or your chosen profession) on any path you so desire...therefore, all nano's your profession gets is useful...maybe not practical in everyday use...but for the few who want to be different, this could be for them......also who knows why FC chose sneak attack over other types of buffs...but guess what, live with it, like or hate it...it's there....use it or stop complaining ;)

But classes have bonuses for a reason, and the nanolines are supposed to support whatever the class was designed to do. Soldier for example has mostly green ranged skills, and not surprisingly it gets nanolines that buff ranged skills. Giving them melee nanos wouldnt make any sense--likewise giving a class with bonuses to SMG a sneakattack nano doesn't make much sense either.
Anyway this thing apparently predates SL, so shades werent invented yet and I guess they figured adv/enfo had enough melee buffs as it is. And most classes do have one or two random targeted nanos meant for buffing others.

I was under the impression that this nano was left over from beta, when fixers were a melee prof. Could just be an urban myth, though.
Agents also get a sneak attack buff on their rifle nano... now explain that one heh. Maybe "sneak attack" was just the term used to mean "an attack while concealed, melee or ranged" much like Heavy Weapons can be found on both melee and ranged nanos.
