View Full Version : Rogean: PvP Attacks no longer require the attacker to be facing their target.

What does this mean? Can you be more specific?

Melee? Spell? How will this effect jousting or rogues being behind targets for back stab?

Pre patch melee required a frontal cone of attack range, now you can attack 360 degrees around, for example a rogue running through a target and backstabbing from his ass, aka the frontbackstab.

Why was this done?

Gonna change jousting, allow for rogues to backstab by running through you...

Confirmed didn't play classic.

Rogues could always run through you to backstab at opportune moments (I.E. right when they pass through your model, not facing you)

This also worked in PVE.

Agree with Harrison. I've played multiple rogues and it's the only way a rogue can solo.

Pretty much would have had to play a rogue to know that.

Or ever PVP one and see them run in to you and you get hit with a backstab.

I tested this on Al'kabor and posted my findings, even there (early Planes of Power era) I could be standing back to back against another toon and still backstab. Could swing from every direction too.

Its classic

to be clear, the rogue still has to be at the opponents back to land a backstab, just does not matter which direction the rogue is faceing when he fires it off.
