Reproduction steps

Equip a weapon with sneak attack
As a shade have more than 100 base sneak attack skill to enable backstab special attack
Increase Sneak Attack base skill over 235 (and then over 420) - which should enable damage multiplier and crit backstabs

Expected results

Back stab should be capable of doing significantly more damage than a regular attack. Above 235 base skill it should damage multiply (Although I don't know the formula for that) and above 420 base skill it should also "crit" (with a cap of 13k).

Actual results

Currently Backstab behaves more like "Fling" than "Aimed Shot", basically an extra regular attack.

Bug prevalence

Everytime.

Description & Attachments

I didn't verify these values but here's info on backstab damage breakpoints:

Confirmed. Shade (.set profession 15). Weapon: (.item 245605 245605 140).
Can be used on a target that isn't aware of you yet, or that is fighting someone else, or that is stunned. Must be one of those 3 situations to test this. Stun nano for use on enemy: (.ncu run 28625)

Confirming, level 163 shade with Nippy's. 690 base Sneak attack 836 buffed. Backstab does normal attack damage, essentially it operates as just a 2nd fast attack that you have to find the enemies butthole to proc it.
