Ninja Perk worth it?

[Wu]

I'm currently level 25 and trying to make a stealth build that can one-shot most enemies from a distance (snipers and pistols). I already do quite a bit of damage without the perk, so will I see such a big increase with it?

Yes!
2.5x normal damage from afar and 4x melee with this perks first stage 3.5x ranged and 10x melee at third stage. Yes it is worth it.

Ranged sneak attack damage 2.5x, 3x and 3.5x for the three levels of the perk

I find that the sniper rifles don't deal a lot of damage, 43 dps against 600fps with the assault rifle is quite a large gap. Then again...I've taken the automatic rifles upgrades

Well, we are talking about one-shot hits here. So if you have a sniper rifle that deals say 100, just to make it easy, at third stage this perk will make sure you always deal 350 damage when sneak-hitting a target. Every time. Always.
