Tricks of the trade

I have just fckd up my insane/rg alchemist by picking Tricks of the trade on level 25.

I did it because I though It unlocks Cunning/Stealth Category and Cunning/Scoundrel. And actually it unlocks both... but if u lack both, it gives u only Cunning/Scoundrel(
So my question is
why and when would you take this prodigy?

I think it's extremely weak - guys with stealth get teardrop 0.2 and 01 of mastery and just Scoundrel for those who have nothing.Also it halves ivisibility penalty, but I don`t know any ivisibility penalty perk since shadowblade`s ivisibility sustain was removed like 5 years ago. That doesn't make sense either. So whats the reason? I thought it was a universal way to get Stealth, but it`s a way to get Scoundrel. But you can get Scoundrel just from escort, and there is a lot of fun stuff in prodigies.

I personally don't think I'd ever pick it. Imo it's just one of those outdated remnants of past times.
