What is a high backstab for you?
I’m usually happy if I do an average of 8k.
Highest I’ve done is 17k on an ele in spvp.
Currently? Im very happy when it hits for 6k in www with maxed out crit damage. Much op too damage plz nerf.

Yeah, currently.
I was also speaking of a WvW PoW (but whatever grinds your gear!).
I used 6/6/0/0/2, full glass that is, just to instagib someone.
This way I could get a nice % increase in my backstab with 5 attacks while activating Assassins Signet (5% dagger training, 5% flanking strikes, 7% thanks to runes and might and 15% from the signet, and 10% if I’m moving thanks to seaweed food).
In and out, and not a serious setup, but fun to nuke ppl down fast with little too no survival for yourself.

Yeah, it’s a little sad when auto-attacks have better DPS than the backstab (considering the time to setup). Of course, the math doesn’t stop people from QQing about OP backstabs.
Best I had lately was 11k-ish on a zerker thief after a several CnDs (so a couple of might stacks) in WvW with full stacks, but the average Guard/Warr has to be tickled to death with 3-5k backstabs (where the actual effect is more a psychological one).
When I was on my Warr the last day I ran into a thief and was in a hurry to flip a tower. He backstabbed me once, I kept on running afterwards…he just gave up, seeing my almost full HP-bar (full zerker and almost 3K armor is fun).
