Backstab accounts for about 35-40% of a L60 rogue's DPS. Main hand is ~40% and offhand is about 20%. Numbers pulled from memory of ALOT of pre-patch parses.If you think a nerf to 60% of my damage is very little, yeah... Not excited to see the new numbers.

However, I do think I read that mobs are more dangerous now? That's fantastic. I loved getting destroyed when I played bad on live. Rogues were mainly fun to play because of that risk.

PS: I think double backstab is tied to double attack as well, so it might be impacting rogue damage across the board.
