Well that made me curious, I've got a rogue alt I was thinking of picking up again. So here's the Safehouse below, but the wayback machine (www.archive.org) isn't finding it. Anyone got a direct link/workaround? Curiosity is a killer.

bump I know someone must have made note of this while lvling up with a ragebringer twink.
I had a friend awhile ago that did a RB mq rogue and I seem to rembember him bragging about 400-500dmg backstabs at lvl 30. My rogue has not yet broke 300BS and I have pretty high str (could be higher) so I was starting to wonder if there was a ninja nerf or a cap or if he was just full of shit.

It's all in the wrist

You'll rarely see the very high-end of your backstab damage range without attack buffs. Even with 255 str, my 59 rogue rarely BSs over 500 unless I've got a significant attack buff (like dance of the blade + mcvaxius, or wolf form, or avatar).

You can get max with sitting PCs. I think its 500something without disc at level 60 with max strength and with Duelist activated its 1041.

1106, max sitting with duelist

this pretty much sums it up. at 60 with max str but no atk buffs my backstabs are usually in the 200-400 range max around 500 with a lot more min backstabs(120) thrown in than max. with disc's popped if i can land a backstab its usually 500-700. tbh i think the highest backstab i think ive seen against a mob was somewhere around 830, but i dont really parse so these are just guesstimates.

ive noticed max backstabs are ALOT more common against players

in all honestly, the numbers really feel wrong, i know backstab has been adjusted numerous times over the last year i just hope some day they can find a happy medium, as it stands min backstabs seem way to common than max
