Lethality Back stab stealth nerf?

I just remember hitting harder on Tuesday and only noticed the difference when I raided wednesday, and during the scholo dungeon.

64

Sure you werenā€™t originally killing a caster mob and then now youre going up against a meele plate mob or something lol
also coulda been buffed like battle shout / might / who knows.

65

Wouldnā€™t I hit a caster mob for more as oppose to a half plate, half leather player? Unless Iā€™m mistaken about armor values and how they interact with backstab which could be the case.

66

What im saying is that if you backstab a caster dungeon dude versus a plated or monstrosity you will deal more damage to the one in the dress

67

Even bears in arathi / alterac for instance are heavily armored and the spiders right next to them will die much easier.

68

I actually just tested it against bears in Winter Spring and I was hitting them for 833 back stab crits with no buffs which is higher then the clothy mobs in Scholo.

69

Sounds like you were carrying buffs, might ? kings ? onyxian kill city wide buff ? who knows maybe it was an old ammo bug but I bet its something more obvious . theres lots to consider in vanilla , I cant say for sure.

We werenā€™t able to get the ony head buff because someone popped it before us and a couple hours later it bugged out and we couldnā€™t turn it in. But you are right, its vanilla and not at all a perfect product. Iā€™ll just continue playing daggers since Iā€™ve already committed to my guild that I would be our dagger rogue.

There is currently an issue with personal buffs, its possible that you were getting the best combination of buffs during that original raid and now they are not syncing the way to get the most effectiveness.
Blizzard is working on the fix its partially why people are not enchanting items because its taking buff slots. Buff Cap and Hidden Auras

When Iā€™m doing this testing its by myself with no buffs, and then I test it with one buff might/Battle shout. Unless suddenly my talents are being effected by this Iā€™m not sure this is the issue. The damage change was yesterday. I kinda hope this whole thing gets a blue to comment, to at least say, this is working as intended or say we are looking into the issue. Someone made a post about Shadow Bolt not working correctly now so who knows it could be that back stab isnā€™t working right.
