However, I do think I read that mobs are more dangerous now? That's fantastic. I loved getting destroyed when I played bad on live. Rogues were mainly fun to play because of that risk.

PS: I think double backstab is tied to double attack as well, so it might be impacting rogue damage across the board.

yes, that is a large portion of their dps, they are the least effected by this, I do not believe double attack is tied to bs but if someone has concrete proof lemme know. monks do about 90% of their dps through straight attacks and 10% from flying kick. warriors are probably 95% maybe 90 through kicks/ripostes. rangers are probably in the 85-90% range although i don' know if they use any dmg spells on targets at this point in the game. so when rogues can shrug 40% of their total dmg done on an ability that is huge when their is a dw/da nerf it will affect them only a little compared to everyone else.
