How that is possible?

Tharashk Arena on Epic:
http://i55.tinypic.com/f40gbc.jpg

I had lvl 6 Rogue (Rog 6/Fight 2/Rngr 12), so
Class gives: Sneak Attack +3d6
Rogue Sneak Attack Training II: +6 damage from Sneak Attacks
Epic Brawling Gloves: +6 damage from Sneak Attacks (not sure if it's stacking)

So, at best, sneak attack damage should be 30, not 334.

And I usually do about 15-30 sneak attack damage, but sometimes I see too big numbers, for example, I've noticed big numbers against Giants in Gianthold Tor (several number per hit, but the number on the right side is often 200+). Giants are on the list of Favorite enemies (Ranger feat), but the additional damage against them is only +9, so it doesn't explain 200+ damage.

I don't have any guard on my DT armor (no Corrosive Salt Guard, no Disintegration Guard, etc.).

The only explanation I can think of is that maybe critical damage is shown together with sneak attack damage, i.e. combat log is bugged?

It was your crit vs helpless (+50%) probably with a x3 weapon plus your SA damage added.

any attack made by a character with the sneak attack feat when not having aggro is considered a sneak attack, even if the sneak damage(1d6 or whatever) is blocked(fort). even if you attack a construct or some such when you dont have aggro, that would be considered a sneak attack. that looks like you got a nice crit
