While you're waiting to see an 1106 for yourself you can easily check 553's in your logs and confirm only higher backstabs were preceded by a duelist. The duelist message is "Soandso's eyes gleam with energy."
I do not believe this is correct. Looking back at this log:


Quote:
[Fri Mar 29 22:26:07 2019] Jumbasa backstabs Dagarn the Destroyer for 696 points of damage.
I do not see the "eyes gleam with energy." message for Jumbasa. I do see the message for other Rogues, so I know the message can be seen by myself.

These are all the "eyes gleam with energy" messages for that day:

Quote:
[Fri Mar 29 22:26:42 2019] Stabithaa's eyes gleam with energy.
[Fri Mar 29 22:33:03 2019] Dravingar's eyes gleam with energy.
[Fri Mar 29 23:17:04 2019] Knapsack's eyes gleam with energy.
[Fri Mar 29 23:17:19 2019] Katierakel's eyes gleam with energy.
[Fri Mar 29 23:22:35 2019] Narienna's eyes gleam with energy.
[Fri Mar 29 23:22:47 2019] Konsent's eyes gleam with energy.
[Fri Mar 29 23:23:52 2019] Stabithaa's eyes gleam with energy.
In theory it is possible my logs missed the message, but I doubt it. I don't see Jumbasa use his duelist for the entire day.

It is also a bit too much of a conicidence that the max damage from the EQEMU code happens to match up exactly with the highest damage value I've seen.

Quote:
The formula for this is (Weapon Damage + 3) * ((Backstab Skill * 0.02) + 2). (15 + 3) * ((235 * 0.02) + 2) = 120. (120 weapon damage * 2) * 2.85 percentage multiplier cap + 11 damage bonus = 695 damage at best. The 696 we saw above is probably due to rounding.
