Rogue - would like a backstab skill

[Jakira]

I noticed LE has some nice circle strafe play / dash behind possibilities and I had hoped Rogue would have a backstab skill.

Thanks,

Yes, though they’d need to implement a “mob is facing a specific direction” mechanic first. IE, mobs don’t have backs to stab, they just have squishy bits.

Well, when mobs don’t face you they usually try to turn to you, so there’s gotta be something there - and yes, that would be needed.

Yes please! I’d love one for flavor reasons. HUGE critical multiplier to make up for the set-up required. Maybe enemies killed with it explode or something to help with AoE, or it can just be a single-target boss killer skill.

Imagine the interplay during multiplayer sessions with freezes and stuns and so on!

Include some passives that teleport you a short distance to immediately backstab a nearby enemy, or disable such a feature to increase it’s damage. I’d really love to have this in the game!
