So what your saying is 1200-1700 backstabs are fine when that was never happening on live in kunark but sunstrikes aren't?

What class do you play again oh a rogue that's right!

Listen buddy if you want nothing but lures landing likes its luclin era thats fine but you can't keep your insane custom dmg that never matched live thats currently happening on melees.

The chances of me doing that much damage on a backstab are about 1 in 15. Requires duelist and a very high roll on damage and not missing one or both. Wizard have just as high (if not higher) of a chance to do 1k damage with a sunstrike and they don't have to be put on a 30 minute cooldown to try it.

Granted my memory isn't perfect, but I can say for certain that in my time in live during the end of kunark and start of velious...that I saw several rogues backstabbing for mid to high 400's at the gfay spires.

While that's not the 520 that we're capable of, our 520's are also with capped strength and the rogues I watched did not have any buffs. People from Tallon Zek will remember rogues like Amuk, Quiknuss, Tzuten etc who were all elves that spent a lot of time pvping at wizard spires. People from those eras will also remember that every big name shaman on that server would never have poison dots memmed because they didn't land (something else bk is crying for is the ability for shaman to pvp). They all relied on insidious decay and pox/plague to do damage.

So whether or not rogues hit as hard there I can't really say, if you can provide proof that we didn't I could give 2 shits about my class being nerfed, I am confident enough in my ability to contribute even if they take 70 damage off my max backstabs. And I sure as hell wont come crying to the forums about it, at worst I'll make another character and level it up if people feel I'd be of more use on a different class.

The problem is armor class, not resists. AC has never worked correctly on either server.

This is probably more accurate than anything BK has attempted to say. I feel like I backstab warriors harder than wizards a lot of the time.
