dunehunter Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 So now ranged weapons finally works for backstabbing, but still have two issue: 1) DW, specially light weapons are still inferior for backstabbing, it's weird for rogue to backstabbing someone with big sword; 2) Blunderbuss is useless for backstabbing because now only one attack will work for backstabbing so only the 1st projection of blunderbuss works... Imo this can be easily fixed by give rogue a time window for backstab to work, for example, every attack within 2 second from invisible will be counted as a backstab attack, problem solved. 7
Boeroer Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Totally agree. Also nice idea - but that makes Full Attacks superior. In my opinion Backstab should yield the best results with a small (concealable), one handed weapon. Maybe a flat (scaling or upgradeable) bonus would be best (see Soul Annihilation or Envenomed Strike in PoE). Then the weapon wouldn't matter that much. 2 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods
thelee Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I mean, in real life if you manage to sneak up to someone and cleave them with a two-handed sword, that's going to be way more effective than a tiny dagger 1

There can be a feature for some light weapon called - suitable for backstabbing, which gives some bonus to acc and damage when backstabbing. Also the problem of Full attack/primary attack, DW/2H should be discussed seperately imo because that's a different story where 2h is much weaker. 1
Aramintai Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I mean, in real life if you manage to sneak up to someone and cleave them with a two-handed sword, that's going to be way more effective than a tiny dagger This reminds me: But yea, when I imagine assassin carrying around a giant two-hander to sneak up and backstab people with it I can't help but giggle. Sad giggle when I play POE ... 4

First of all you wouldn't be able to conceal a two handed sword. Then the effect of "dagger in the neck" or "great sword through the upper body" is the same: he's dead, Jim.

JerekKruger Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I die in the Dadfire every single day. Luckily Dadfire isn't like the Matrix at all and there is no correlation between dying in it and dying in real life.
