2040 for sure is possible, as I recently saw a 1020 duelist. It's just a very small chance of it happening. The issue at hand is whether or not we should be hitting this hard, I've seen archived screenshots of rallos zek that nirgon posted, where a rogue backstabs for 470 without duelist.

Mid to high 400's is something I did frequently see on live from rogues without any buffs (were elves as well so they were nowhere near 250 str). So it's really hard to figure out if rogues are doing more max damage than intended. What is certain is that armor class is not working correctly, as I can see no difference in damage numbers between cloth and plate for the most part. I almost feel like I backstab plate for higher average damage than cloth.

944 damage backstab on live

Looks to me like if that was a double, that would be a 1900 damage double. And that character probably didn't have capped strength. The melee damage is exactly where it should be at, the problem is that AC isn't providing a big enough effect.

The chances of backstabs hitting for 1600+ is very low, and we get one chance every 30 minutes. I personally haven't hit that hard on anyone who wasn't sitting, and rogues always oneshot people on live who were sitting if they used duelist. Quit qq'ing
Guy in pic prob has avatar and duelist against a sitting opponent. Pic was taken in Velious, that 944 was probably close to max hit for Velious era. In Kunark R99 sees 1K+ backstabs, in Velious we will be seeing 1.1k+ duelists with avatar.

Shits broke, please fix Rog backstabs thx.
