Sure Voland.

Keeping it as brief as possible....

Backstab damage is based on the damage of your weapon, so if you have a 9/18 or 12/24 in your main hand rather than a 14/25 then you'll notice your dps drop overall if you parse it.

A good ratio offhand also maximizes dps... whether it's a 9/18 jade mace, a 12/24 crystalline short sword or the high end Edge of the Nightwalker 14/25.

If you're buying a decent main hand (pre-epic) a good one to go for is the Rapier of Oriin ...which still isn't cheap but has dropped in value since I had mine.
