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.
I think you are overestimating backstab a bit but not much. I don't know why people think that the majority of rogue damage comes from backstab. Velious weapons increase rogue dps a huge ammount and are still capped at 15damage.
