This dagger now has a 12% mod not 15%. Don't know exactly when it was nerfed.

BS Mods increase your BS skill by X%. This in turn does contribute to higher BS damage. Havent gotton a Gargoyle talon yet, but I do have a LDoM. Before that my max was 982. With LDoM 3% mod I max at 1003. Hope this helps

Hmm what level are you parallax? Does the BS mod increase BS damage or chance to hit? My max BS at level 57, 1@ ragebringer (15/25), LDOM (3% BS), 253 str was 819. Is there a chart somewhere that we could check to see what our BS range should be in with diff wep damages?

Just guesses here, but I think he was prolly talking about regular BS at 703. He would crit up closer to 1150. With your Ragebringer at level 57 you would be hitting regular around low 500's. The 819 you mention is from a critical or duellist hit.

If you want answers on BS damages at different levels and weapons check the Safehouse.

703 non crit,
1203 crit non disc,
14?? (over 1400 but less than 1450) Duelist/Assassin's Strike non crit,
22?? (over 2200 but less than 2300) crit with Duelist/Assassin's Strike if you are lucky enough for a max crit with Duelist/Assassin's Strike.

Hope that is the info you looking for.

Just an interesting point I noticed from DrAcO's post....
At 64, I've also noticed my normal backstabs seem to cap at 691. This is with str, dex, and agi all capped at 275 (buffed). I'm just curious if anyone else is seeing similar 'highs' in their BS dmg? Granted, I've only had this sweet dagger for about 24 hours now and haven't collected a lot of data to parse, but during the adventure I did just after getting this dagger, my highest non-disc backstab was for 691, same as DrAcO.

It is your cap based on BS skill, BS mod percent and weapon damage.

The only thing strength does is raise your attack so you average higher numbers but it has nothing to do with your cap. With attack buffs/gear you should see 691 a lot.

looks like a beefed up Ragebringer in the hand...max 'stab at 63 went up 130 points, from 563 to 691, with crits and duellist far and above that. got the dagger and a guild invite in the same night! ;)

it's very nice not only because of the 17 damage that you won't see on most rogue piercers, up until fennin ro unless im mistaken.

the 15% backstab mod increases your backstab damage considerably as well, our bs caps at 225, with room for improvement with modifiers.

# May 17 2003 at 1:58 AM Rating: Decent
Our backstab caps at 225, but tops off at 252, This makes 12% and 15% mods worth just as much, just as an FYI

#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 04 2003 at 12:06 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm not to familiar with rogues but isnt this sorta a really great item not because of ratio but that it beats the 15 dmg part for back stabbing? I remember that almost all highend rogue piercers were at 15, but I could be wrong I dont play a rogue just what I pick up in conversations.
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 03 2003 at 11:16 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Kickass primary hand wep... anyone have backstab statistics?
#REDACTED, Posted: Mar 03 2003 at 7:27 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Very nice for the ease of the mob who drops it... all the tower bosses have uber loot.
