The backstab modifier is great, but in my experience there's very little opportunities to use it. It's fun to use on a lox, but make sure you're able to get away from his buddies in time if you need to use it.

This is entirely your playstyle then. I backstab all the time. Regardless of the backstab, the attack speed and stagger rate is also a huge factor as well as the fact it doesn't give you a movement speed debuff the way other weapons do.

Yes. I 'm sure there are times when I could use backstab, but don't have the patients for it.

I am curious what you use it on, and if you feel you need the extra bonus or if you're just doing it because it's fun.
