Do you understand what the backstab minimum is? Just from reading this thread, you guys seem to think of it like a damage bonus, where you should min backstab at the same rate that you min hit with your normal attacks. Instead, the backstab damage is calculated, and if it's less than the minimum, the damage is set to the minimum. So whenever you increase your weapon damage, STR, ATK, BS skill, all of those things are going to decrease your min. BS rate because they increase the average "normally calculated" BS damage. This is unless you're using a rusty dagger or something that can't even max hit above the min dmg @ 60.
