BACKSTAB

Backstab is a way to sneak up on a person and attempt to place your dagger in their back, at exactly the point where it does the most damage. A successful backstab gives a damage multiplier, depending on level.

The chance of successfully backstabbing a person depends on how well you have practiced backstab at your guild.

If a backstabber sets themself up properly with placement, it is possible to backstab again during combat without having to flee first. If a backstabber has positive placement, they can disengage from their foe and attempt to backstab a mobile without leaving the room.

The circle command is like backstab except that it does half damage but also halves the wariness of the target. Circle requires the "backstab, circle" skill. You can also backstab even if you are engaged and/or tanking using circle ... however your chance of success is much greater if you disengage first and if you can find someone else to tank for you.

If the backstabber is dual wielding and knows the "backstab, dual" skill, he or she will automatically attempt to perform a dual backstab when backstabbing.

The Improved Backstab and Greater Backstab each increase backstab damage by 20% respectively.
