<p>Like it would have been hard to test.Ok a CA that can only be used after a stealth backstab. Ok lets try each stelth backstab, ok those work. Now lets try the non stealth backstabs....wait a second one of these works, should fix that.</p><p>Honestly you have to wait 10-12 seconds before trying a different CA, concidering the assassin class has maybe 30 at most. Not exactly hard to do. Even though this was not even a nerf it was just a fix to something it still never should have made it into the game. It was such a painfully obvious bug and so easy to test.</p>

Its stealthed attacks, not backstab.  so your 2 AOE's and then 5 other attacks can be used.How many do you guys get in for fatal followup?  What is your usual casting order?ohh and hey Luinne <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Debuff,concealment,cripple to get it going, all backstabs and Fatal followup. Does some good damage.

Standard procedure. I use masked attack but the concept is the same
