This should be flagged for PoP. I was able to get it from Blane Darkblade on PoP launch on Mangler.
totally useless disc...

this disc only usable out of combat, it means the disc's damage boost is so ******* low, only once every time you enter combat....crap...
It does work, but maybe

not as often as stated. It never failed my but I did crit for well over 300 a couple times and at my lvl 37 that is a lot of damage. Considering I can usually get two more regular BS it I watch aggro. I think it gets better as skill goes up, as far as the frequency of the crit.
charges?

can u only use this skill once? or continuously?
critical
# Sep 26 2006 at 11:36 PM Rating: Decent
It seems more like 5-10% chance to crit than the stated 50%.
critical

it says INCREASE chance by 50%, so if you have a 1% chance to crit backstab, it will increase that chance by 50%, up to 1.5% chance

are the "test" ones just the ones that were used on the test server or are these disciplines that we can get on reg servers now? I'm sooo confused with all of this new stuff. When you say "discs" are you talking about the tomes? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me.

Sneak Attack bug

Just a few days ago, i tried the test server for this, and it was so nice. It was bugged, and a half an hour after i got it they corrected it. What happened was you just press the "sneak attack" button, and after that every hit was critical. The test weapon was a crystalline spider fang, and at lvl 25 i was critical hitting for 50s and 60s. I backstabbed for 161 too. It was really nice. Now i think all it does is make u backstab for maximum damage, non-crit. But you have to stop attacking and sneak behind the person first.
