tier 3 gobs aren't training stealths or genning enough for me to really be learning backstab. Best i have ever gotten backstab to is 10/34 but i have to scoure the hunting area killing everything i see as fast as I can and when your the only one hunting there, they aren't that available.

Any suggestions on how to start getting Backstab to more higher up the chain? Could (attack) (body part) on tier 2's work it better?

Even if you don't hit them attcking the eyes, does it still teach backstabbing?

I've found I can't hit 3rd snobs by attacking a body part, but I can train some backstab on 2nd snobs, just unable to hit anything other than chest/abdomen/back.

HR>fei left eye
You fail to position yourself to strike at the snow goblin's left eye.
You leap out of hiding and ambush a mono-browed snow goblin, completely surprising it.
< You feint an ivory-hilted jambiya at a mono-browed snow goblin. A mono-browed snow goblin dodges.
[You're solidly balanced and opponent has slight advantage.]

Is that the right messaging? Or am I way off from really learning from them?
