Backstab issues

[Bkab]

i noticed while testing melee dmg/ac with null on my rogue that backstab was incredibly weak. i think my max hit was 96 with 140 str and an sbd and more often than not it was 60-70 or less.

prolly get flamed but backstab should ignore AC

or part of it

Backstab really shouldn't have a large penalty given that you have to be behind your opponent to actually land the hit. AC reductions should be cut down by 3/4's when attacking a target from behind because that would be the the greatest point of contact.

"behind".. although this maybe be low for backstabs you dont want decent rogues out jousting the best warriors on server.

Why not? Jousting just isn't swing hit swing hit. Plus, "best" is a relative word. Also, a proper played rogue can beat most warriors due to the quad + backstab doing more damage then a double hit 2hander.

The difference between the two are HP/AC. That is what should make or break the right. Rogue's dps equates them to a warriors HP.

retest with 250 STR.

I was a dwarf rogue, with a 9 dmg MH - with str buff I was doing 190 dmg backstabs, really shouldn't be any higher imo.
