Skill Backstab
From Project 1999 Wiki
This rogue only skill can inflict enormous damage. The target must have its back to you. Higher skill will increase not only the chance of hitting, but the damage done.
You can use backstab as attack from the front for aggro holding purposes.
This is because the aggro gained from backstab is the amount of possible damage. Not the amount of actual damage done.
The damage done is multiplied by your backstabbing weapon's damage. The higher the damage the higher the backstab.
Because of this, it is always a good idea for a Rogue to have the highest possible damage dagger in their primary.
See Game Mechanics article for the Math behind Backstab damage.
