Backstab skill (Abyss Walker)

Player Questions Started Last reply 11 posts
Hello people. Today i've tested backstab skill .. . and saw strange results. success rate near 60% ... i hit only from behind but success rate is far away from 100%. i asked my teammates about it and they have told me that i was hitting mobs in their ugly faces sometimes .... strange isnt it? i have no lags, my ping to server is near 150 ms ...
maybe someone know whats the problem and what can be done to solve it?
thanx , people )
Its called being a dagger class :(

Daggers used to be very overpowered in Chronicle 2, and then they nerfed their damage and the land rate of their abilities by a lot (too much, in my opinion) in Chronicle 3.
So, skill works in some other way? there are no 100% success rate hitting from behind for backstab skill?
And what about "wrong side" issue? We even had an experiment, showing that sometimes players see mobs in different orientation (i look at a mob that is oriented away from me, my teammate look at the same mob and see opposing orientation ) ....
It has nothing to do with nerf.

Backstab only 100% when u 100% right behind the mob. If u got a bit angle - it won't work.
Game almost always have some sort of lag. So its ain't rare to misposition mobs.
So in most cases u just don't need to use this skill.
I peronally consider it as pvp only skill, when enemy turn his back to you, trying to run away.
backstab doesnt do any more dmg then deadly blow does it ? that kinda sux since backstab is this calsses trademark hehe
So i'm not the only one who has such an interesting effect ...
sad ... skil' is good in theory , but too hard to use in practice ...
Backstab does EXACTLY same damage as dealyblow and it uses more mana, only cons is that it have 100% success rate from behind.
On practice its only useable when someone tryes to run away from you and it works great at such times and its only manawise in PVP, thats it.
Cant be 100%
ive played a TH for quite a good time and my Backstabs (even if im 100% behind the mob) dont hit sometimes. Its only a bit better then the hitrate of Deadlyblow since you do have a better hitrate/critrate at all from behind

There is 100% land rate, was wondering about it too, when just started my dagger. Only thing, that you should be right behind the target any angle will ruin it.
Try it with someone hate mob and walk away slowly, when u chase u 100% behind the mob. Has never missed backstab in this setup.
its not 100%

they glitched our skill in c3....

if i run directly behind someone and backstab ... it misses

if i use the angles i use to in landing backstab ... its misses

Backstab is glitched.. hope its getting fixed ^.^
Seems like a bug to me ... when get my hands on c4 client, i'll test it again and if land rate still be low , report a bug with screens and maybe replay. Interesting :), what support team will answer ;).
