Skill Backstab

This rogue only skill can inflict enormous damage. The target must have its back to you. Higher skill will increase the 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.
