or another Melee what have you added. and what does this sneaky attack do

Sneak Attack, whether a mage or a melee will provide a damage increase from back attacks. If you have deception trained or specialized you have a chance to get a sneak attack from the front for more damage. It displays in combat chat when it is a sneak attack or not. The higher the skill the higher the damage rating increase. With deception, the higher the skill, the higher the chance from a front sneak.

You are no longer simply a UA. UA weapons now appear in all of the 3 melee weapon skills: Heavy, Light, and Finesse. (UA: Heavy - Nekode (now slash/pierce) & Cestus/ Light - Katar & Knuckles/ Finesse - Claw & Hand Wraps)

To create some sense of flavor weapon Mastery has been added. As a Sho char you have a natural affinity for UA which you gain at character creation and can be changed in Arwic via the Mastery Statues (if you were a Sho that didnt like using UAs). This Mastery gives you a +5 DMG Rating upgrade whenever wielding a UA (PK weapons don't count)

Within the melee skils, each melee weapon is represented; for example in Heavy there are axes, swords, maces, UAs, spears, staves, etc. Heavy melee skill does the highest dmg of the 3 skills. Light weapons is a cheaper alternative but does less dmg than heavy and still operates on Str&Coord. Finesse is an alternative to Heavy and Light much like Dagger was before this patch, it operates off Coord&Quick.

Does this answer some of your questions?
