Game Mechanics: Missed Backstab generating high threat

[Rogean]

Aggro was always generated based on potential damage, never actual damage. This means hit, miss, block, parry all generate aggro. Ripostes do not generate aggro.

This has been confirmed by multiple sources and won't be changed.

I'm positive that is not the case with backstab but I can only say from personal experience. I wont argue it since I don't have any evidence to back it up. I don't see any way to check it since live today is likely to be completely different from what it was in classic.
