Backstab
Revision as of 17:44, 6 January 2016 by Dizzylizzy (talk | contribs) (Update for 3.6.0 ranged-backstab nerf and cite references)
Backstab refers to the extra damage done by Rogues on fleeing monsters. It is calculated as 1dxplevel.[1]
Before 3.6.0, any weapon's damage against a fleeing monster while not wielding two weapons would qualify for the backstab bonus, including thrown objects such as daggers. As of 3.6.0, only melee attacks count toward backstab damage, with the combined bonuses of multiple flying daggers seen as too powerful.[2]
