WHY STEALTH DAMAGE WORK ONLY IN BACK BUT YOU CAN BLOCK AT 360° ??

    stealth dmg isn't limited to being behind someone.

    Maybe this is a PvP question which I don't solo PvP so perhaps your experience differs but when I PvE I'm 100% sure it doesn't require me to be behind the target.

    In PvP I've not had that experience either but it seems logical that you will be spotted in PvP easily if in POV of the player

    In PvE and PvP you can do a critical stealth damage ONLY by back (180° at least).

    I mean, it's a x2 or so multiplier.


    So the game know actually if you are attacking from back or not. So why block is at 360°??
    Look like a very stupid mechanic.

    It doesn't require you be behind someone, it just requires you not be seen. Being peoples eyes are in the front of their heads and not the back you most likely just get spotted before hitting the n/pc

    No, i'm sure. From back you get highter damage than just a crit. in PvE and PvP.

    I've always thought 360 blocking made no sense
