Game Mechanics: Rogue Backstab Damage

[Cyrano]

Ok, everyone knows something is off on this. I've talked with a few rogues and we agreed that 490 was a very common damage for rogue BS at 60 during Kunark/Velious.

I was looking on Alla at the Ragebringer thread and found this:

"In my case, I was using a 10/21 main before epic and hitting right near 300 for backstabs at level 54. After my 15/25 epic, I've been hitting in the mid 400s and I doubt I've hit my max yet. " from Nov. 11, 2002.

This implies that he's not 60 but it's during SoL so perhaps he got some of the good AA's early on. I currently rarely break 400 with duelist on at 255 str w/ Avatar. I'm not saying it never happens but it's rare. I remember popping duelist on live and seeing backstabs >1000 constantly prior to Luclin.

Whatever the case, what do we need to do as a rogue community to get the ball rolling on fixing this? I for one loved playing a rogue so I could see the huge backstabs and brag about them.
