It's nowhere near as powerful as it was in 3rd edition, but True Strike and Harm was a favorite tactic of my wizard and my girlfriend's cleric. Pretty much guaranteed to hit with a +20 to a touch attack. If the touch attack succeeded, target now has 1d4 HP. At that point our bard would hit them with a magic missile or acid arrow.
True Strike being useful, a veritable miracle!
Well the touch attack ignoring armor helped more than the actual true strike most of the time. If it had been a normal attack to do damage, rather than just, "can I touch them," I doubt it would have been as successful of an attack combination.
