I don't even know what that means. I was in a delve in Cyrodill. I was sneaking behind the npc. I used the skill and the npc simply just stood up and/or turned around. There was no critical strike, no sundered status effect, and no off balance. This happened repeatedly for about an hour. It went back to normal once I left Cyrodill, but I have been noticing that it doesn't work as advertised in open world either. You don't have to sneak to get it to work. I sneaked up to the enemies to test that it wasn't working directly behind the enemy.0

You should have a compass across the top of your screen. If you are facing north and hit the NPC, do you set them off balance? Because there's been a bug reported that the cardinal direction is what's deciding if you are flanking

I entered the delve from the south. I worked my way in. I probably was facing north.0
